When you’re searching for a school that checks all the boxes, you may not put accreditation at the top of your list. But whether or not a school is accredited can take the research and guesswork out of your decision making. Edge High School is accredited by Cognia, meaning we have been recognized for our high standards in education, teaching and school environment. Here’s why accreditation by Cognia sets our small, tuition-free high school apart from other schools.
What is Cognia Accreditation?
Cognia is an independent education accrediting organization that has been in operation for over 125 years. Schools that choose to be accredited undergo a 6 year evaluation cycle in which Cognia advisors and school staff work together to assess performance standards, implement change and illuminate strengths.
The Cognia accreditation is rigorous, highly-valued and recognized around the world as a marker of school excellence. It means that your high school diploma will be recognized by US universities and colleges and even give you a competitive edge when applying for higher education or employment.
High Quality Teaching & Learning
Our Cognia accreditation highlights the high quality offerings that you’ll find at Edge High School. We put students first and offer support for who they are, the academic and personal challenges they face and who they are becoming. Here’s a few of the aspects of our school that contribute to our good standing with Cognia:
- A healthy, small school learning environment
- A high level of individualized support and advising
- Electives, art, and clubs for everyone
- Multiple learning options that support every type of learner
- Attention to the whole person by developing skills for school and life
- A caring community that embraces everyone
We’re proud of our Cognia accreditation; it’s more than a stamp of approval. It’s evidence that we are living our mission of supporting students to reach full academic and character potential. And we love that accreditation keeps our school and staff modeling what we teach: that learning is a lifelong process and it feels good to grow!
