CHRISTIAN ACCREDDITATION
While accreditation with the state government is a valuable credential for many institutions, we have made a conscious decision not to pursue it for reasons that align with our biblical principles and educational philosophy.
Our commitment to biblical truth and integrity guides every aspect of our institution, including our curriculum, faculty selection, and administrative policies. We believe that our educational standards are rooted in the timeless wisdom and principles found within the Bible itself.
While accreditation can offer certain benefits, we have chosen to prioritize maintaining the autonomy and integrity of our institution, ensuring that our teachings and practices remain firmly grounded in biblical truth without compromise.
We understand that this decision may not align with everyone's expectations or preferences, but we remain dedicated to providing a rigorous and biblically-centered education that equips our students to serve God faithfully in their chosen fields.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we continue to pursue excellence in biblical education."
