We are officially accredited!

Big news, community!

The Linder Academy is now officially accredited by the Middle States Association (MSA). This milestone recognizes our commitment to quality, student well-being, and continuous improvement.

What is accreditation?

Accreditation involves a lengthy study and a professional peer review. This milestone recognizes our commitment to quality, student well-being, and continuous improvement.

Does accreditation change Linder’s mission or model?

No. MSA’s process is competency-based support that sharpens our identity rather than forcing conformity.

Is this just paperwork?

No. The accreditation self-study produced implementation tools (policies, one-pagers, and clear measures) that guide daily decisions, and our multi-year plan keeps us focused on what matters.

How long does accreditation last?

Accreditation is granted for a multi-year term with a midterm check-in to report progress. We will communicate our key dates and milestones on our website.

What does this mean for my child’s high school diploma?

Graduates of an MSA-accredited school hold a diploma from an institution recognized for meeting rigorous standards.
