The National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA) is a private organization dedicated to accrediting American private schools on a national level. [1] It was created in 1993 to form at-large standards after the U.S. Department of Education in 1985 deemed the Department did not have legal authority to recognize any elementary and secondary accrediting agency. [1] As a nonprofit, it was granted tax-exempt status by the IRS in 1996. [2]
It currently fully accredits 18 accrediting agencies including the Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools. [1] [3] [4] As of 2019, it accredits 4,407 schools with a total enrollment of 2,049,328 students. Including pre-accredited and non-accredited schools, it represents a total 6,663 member schools and 2,288,848 students. [5]
