Why Is Accreditation Important for Online High Schools Like Ogburn?
Are you considering an online high school for your child but wondering if it’s “official” or recognized?Accreditation is the key factor that separates reputable schools from unverified programs. At Ogburn Online School, we prioritize accredited education to ensure your child receives quality instruction, recognized credentials, and a smooth path to higher education.
What Is Accreditation?
Accreditation is a formal recognition from an independent, US-based educational agency that evaluates a school’s programs, teachers, and operations. It guarantees that a school meets rigorous academic standards, maintains proper administrative practices, and provides students with the support they need to succeed.
At Ogburn Online School, our accreditation reflects our commitment to high-quality online education and ensures that every diploma we award carries weight with colleges, universities, and employers across the United States.
Why Accreditation Matters for Your Child
1.Ensures Academic Quality
Accreditation confirms that our curriculum meets or exceeds national education standards. This means your child receives comprehensive instruction in core subjects, critical thinking, and college-prep skills—everything required for academic success.
2.Smooth Credit Transfers
If your child ever relocates or wishes to change programs, accreditation allows credits earned at Ogburn to transfer easily to other accredited schools. This flexibility prevents interruptions in your child’s education journey.
3.Opens Doors to College Admissions
Colleges and universities in the U.S. prioritize applicants from accredited high schools. With Ogburn’s accreditation, your child’s diploma is fully recognized, giving them access to competitive college admissions and scholarship opportunities.
