Frequently Asked Questions

Are Private Schools required to be accredited?

Who accredits School of Champions?

Do private schools have to follow federal IDEA (Individuals with Disability Education Act) Law?

No, private schools are not covered under the IDEA law. However, it does not take a federal directive to do what is right for children. Private schools operate under contract law which ensures that parents are aware of what is being offered for their child at the beginning of the school year and allows for legal recourse if this contract is broken. Children with special needs are very well served in private schools of their choosing. 87% of all private schools serve children with some type of special needs and there are 51 private schools that specifically serve children with special needs.  

Are private school teachers certified?

Teachers in accredited private schools are degreed and highly qualified. This allows private schools to hire PhDs in a subject area to teach that subject without requiring teacher certification.

Are private schools accountable?

Private schools are the most accountable type of educational setting because they have to attract parents willing to pay tuition for a service that is provided to the general public for free. Parents are also able to withdraw their child from the school if they are unsatisfied. This is the ultimate accountability. However, accreditation in private school operates the same way it works in colleges and universities and ensures that child’s education is equivalent to or greater than that provided in public school so that the parents can rest assured that the school is focused on educational excellence each and every day.
