Accreditation
Accreditation is vital for any school as it serves as an external validation of the institution's educational quality and adherence to established standards. It provides assurance to learners, parents and guardians, and the community that the school offers a credible and valuable education. Accreditation fosters continuous improvement, encourages accountability, and ensures that learners' academic achievements are recognised and accepted by other educational institutions and employers, facilitating their future academic and career pursuits.
