How ACTABS Compares to Other Accrediting Organizations
Compared to other accrediting options, ACTABS is founded and led by Texans for Texas private schools. It is not located in other areas of the United States, as to lose both the legislative, legal, or institutional focus on Texas private schools. It is small enough to provide personal attention and direction to Texas private schools, but large enough to provide needed services. It provides conferences and conventions in the state every year. It provides strength of collegiality by having many schools in the area that can support and reinforce those schools needing additional help.
