About Us :: Accreditation

Belvoir Christian Academy is currently accredited by the Tennessee Department of Education, National Lutheran Schools Accreditation Association, and Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).

National Lutheran School Accreditation (NLSA) is a national, rigorous accrediting process designed to evaluate schools on the basis of their purposes as Lutheran Schools. It helps schools evaluate not only their academic quality, but especially the spiritual dimension of the school.  NLSA is supervised by the National Accreditation Commission made up of representatives from the various participating Districts of The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod.  The process has been authorized and approved by the Board for Parish Services of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod.

Founded in 1895, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI) is a non-profit, voluntary, non-governmental association, and one of six regional accrediting associations in the United States. SACS CASI serves 11 Southern states -- Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia as well as Latin America and other geographical areas. SACS CASI accredits over 13,000 Pre-Kindergarten, K-12, and vocational schools.

SACS CASI, in the business of accrediting public and private schools for over 100 years, holds its primary mission as the improvement of education by recognizing and encouraging institutional quality through accreditation.

The administration continually strives to meet and exceed the minimum educational standards in order to ensure continuing accreditation and academic excellence.
