Fully Accredited by the ACCS

Committed to a Classical Approach to Education with a Christian Worldview

Accredited by the ACCS

Delaware Valley Classical School located in New Castle, Delaware is an accredited school of The Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS). 

The ACCS is an association of Christian schools whose primary mission is to promote, establish, and equip schools committed to a classical approach to education in the light of a Christian worldview grounded in the Old and New Testament Scriptures. The mission of the association is both to promote the classical approach and to provide accountability for member schools to ensure that our cultural heritage is not lost again. The ACCS seeks to set an educational standard for a unified and directed approach to classical, Christian learning.

The ACCS mission is also to equip schools in teaching such subjects through the methodology known as the Trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric), the educational foundation of our Western culture.

About ACCS Accreditation
While the ACCS accreditation process follows a familiar pattern of self-study followed by an on-site visit, the focus of this process is carefully targeted at the most important elements of successful schools.

ACCS accreditation measures how well schools are consistently implementing a Christian and classical philosophy of education throughout the entire school organization from school board oversight to classroom pedagogy, including student participation, conduct, and development, staff training, parent-teacher relations, operational and financial policies, community support, and the overall spiritual demeanor in the school classrooms. Accredited schools integrate Scripture throughout their schools curricula and demonstrate conformity with the Trivium in their teaching.

When schools are accepted as accreditation candidates by ACCS, they gain a partner who is committed to helping these schools improve through the accreditation process.
