Although there are numerous national and regional agencies that accredit schools, the Kansas State Board of Education is the only entity that can grant Kansas state accreditation to schools.
A brand new private school can seek state accreditation upon opening, or an existing non-state-accredited private school can seek to become state-accredited. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ To open (or become) a state-accredited private school in Kansas:
