Directory: WASC Accredited Online/Distance Learning Schools

Fully accredited schools classified (by the school) as primarily distance learning are listed below (list current as of July 27, 2011). Please note that categorization of various non-site based schools is frequently indistinct.

In addition to the schools listed below, there are many non-site based schools classified as independent study, many of which utilize an online curriculum delivery system. Contact your local school district for specific information about the availability of such programs and determine whether they meet your needs; then check to determine WASC accreditation status.

If you are interested in a school not listed below, use the Search Directory on our website, www.acswasc.org, or call our office to determine WASC affiliation status.

*This list is updated twice a year: in February and July. Use the searchable directory on our website or call our office directly to verify the accreditation of an online/distance learning school in the interim.
