More about the ACA accreditation
ACA is the only national accrediting body for camps of all types. ACA’s accreditation standards focus on health, safety, and risk management, and are used as benchmarks by government entities. The camp’s voluntary participation in the ACA’s professional development and peer-review accreditation process demonstrates a commitment to providing the best possible camp experience for campers, families and camp staff. Our camps are visited every five years.

More about the WASC accreditation

The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is an official academic body which is responsible for the accreditation of public and private schools in the USA.

Educational accreditation is a proof of good quality education under which services and operations of educational programs are evaluated to determine if applicable standards are met. If it is the case, accredited status is granted by the WASC.

ACS WASC accreditation is a school improvement process and as a result, it is a process that serves as the foundation for quality education. As an accredited after-school  an accredited  language summer camp and a cultural program in French EFBA provides proof to the broader community and the stakeholders that it is a trustworthy educational institution for student language learning. EFBA is also committed to ongoing improvement to keep the WASC accreditation.
