accreditation for christian k-12 schools, Colleges, ministry schools & seminaries

United in their Christian mission, International Association of Theological schools (IATS) and the International Association of Christian Schools (IACS) institutions share a commitment to graduating students who love the Lord with all their heart, with all their soul, and with all their mind (Matthew 22:37).
Accreditation is about quality assurance and ongoing improvement for theological schools, especially regarding student formation. It is a voluntary process through which schools mutually assure one another’s educational quality with an eye toward ongoing improvement. IATS schools have regular opportunities to reflect intentionally on their distinctive strengths and areas of desired growth in light of their unique mission.
