About Us
The Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (FACCS) is a voluntary, service providing association of Christian schools, Christian colleges and universities, and homeschool groups. Started in 1968, it is the oldest, state-level association of Christian schools in the nation.
Accreditation and Co-Accreditation.
FACCS offers schools a quality accreditation based on nationally recognized standards. Once a qualifying school has attained a full accreditation status, they may apply for expanded national and international co-accreditations through our association with the National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA) & the Commission on International and TransRegional Accreditation (CITA) protocols.
Professional Educator Certification
FACCS Teacher and Administrator certification provides the individual with a professional credential within the Christian school. The public relations benefit to FACCS member schools will work to attract and keep qualified staff, families, and students.
