Are you accredited?
Frequently Asked Questions
No, HPA is not accredited. In order to be accredited, schools must meet certain criteria when evaluated.
We are not a brick-and-mortar school; we have no teachers (other than parents) and offer no curriculum or classes other than outside-sourced virtual programs. Therefore, we meet none of the criteria to meet accreditation standards.
From the Florida Department of Education website:
There is no state law requiring private schools to be accredited. The Florida Department of Education does not accredit, regulate, approve, or license private high schools. Additionally, the Florida Department of Education does not officially recognize any of the various agencies that accredit private schools. There are many organizations with widely variant quality standards and program requirements that accredit private schools. The acceptance of diplomas from private schools will be subject to the requirements of the receiving educational institution or employer.
