Future Edge Academy Earns Cognia Accreditation

Future Edge Academy has earned accreditation by Cognia™, a nonprofit organization that provides quality assurance for schools, educational institutions, and education service providers.

Cognia nationally recognizes institutions that meet rigorous standards focused on productive learning environments, equitable resource allocation that meets the needs of all learners, and effective leadership. Earning accreditation from the Cognia Global Accreditation Commission means that Future Edge Academy — across all three of its learning pathways: Homeschool, Online Schooling, and Cambridge AICE — is recognized nationwide as an institution that meets Cognia Standards of Quality and maintains an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement.

“Accreditation as conferred by the Cognia Global Accreditation Commission provides Future Edge Academy a nationally recognized mark of quality that extends across every program and every student we serve,” shared Future Edge Academy Administration. “It demonstrates to our families and community our commitment to excellence, our openness to external review and honest feedback, and our dedication to being the very best we can be on behalf of every learner — whether they study at home, online, or through the Cambridge AICE program.”

To earn and maintain Cognia accreditation, Future Edge Academy implements a continuous process of improvement and submits to both internal and external review cycles. Institutions in good standing may maintain their accreditation for a five-year term.

Cognia president and CEO Dr. Mark A. Elgart noted that Cognia accreditation focuses an entire institution and its community on the primary goal of preparing lifelong learners in engaging environments where all students can flourish — a standard Future Edge Academy has demonstrated through measurable progress on key indicators that directly impact student learning.

Cognia is the parent organization of the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI), Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC), and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI).
