Are you a public school or charter school?
No. But we accept all School Choice scholarships which are state funded and therefore we are accountable to the DOE in similar ways as a public school. We must meet all mandatory guidelines as a public school (school days, hours, credits, hiring practices), however are free to teach content in our own way which separates us from the traditional public school model and allows us to better serve students according to our philosophy (ensure every student succeeds based on their individual needs) .
Are all CES schools accredited?
Yes, CES is actually a fully accredited educational organization – as a result, every CES Academy owned and operated by CES is fully accredited. CES Academy accreditation is with Cognia (formerly called AdvancED, formerly referred to as SACS).

Accreditation ensures accountability to objective, third-party standards; guidance for implementation of improvement initiatives; and access to the most current, effective academic programs and resources.
