APPLE Accreditation Application
APPLE Accreditation is a nationally recognized education accreditation program available to early learning programs and K-12 schools. APPLE Accreditation's mission is to empower educators and inspire learners by supporting institutions dedicated to excellence in education. Established in 1999 APPLE Accreditation currently accredits over 850 schools nationwide.
APPLE Accreditation is devoted to helping programs reach their full potential through providing streamlined resources, a dedicated support team, continuous professional development, and a respectful partnership to promote success. We realize that each school is unique and serves an equally distinctive community. APPLE Accreditation celebrates these differences and believes that the process of achieving accreditation should be an opportunity for a school to highlight those aspects of a program that make it special.
On behalf of the entire team, thank you for pursuing APPLE Accreditation. We are honored to be a partner with you in achieving the goals you have set for your school and look forward to working with you during the accreditation journey and beyond.
