The Garden State Association of Christian Schools offers its members accreditation through the American Association of Christian Schools, one of the finest, most comprehensive accreditation programs available. Accreditation is a means whereby the AACS can assist its member schools in the building of stronger Christian schools. Accreditation is voluntary; it is not an attempt to license or regulate. In order to be accredited, a school must state a philosophy of education that is in conformity with biblical standards, demonstrate that its program is in agreement with that philosophy, and meet certain standards that are generally acceptable to Christian educators.
