Accreditation

Allied Schools has been granted national accreditation by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC).

Allied National High School has received regional accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges . Allied National High School is also regionally accredited by The Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation(CITA), an accrediting organization dedicated to advancing the quality of education through accreditation.[1]
