â
We have been fully accredited by FACCS since 1972. In 1998 we received full accreditation from SACS and in 2009 we received full accreditation from NCPSA.
â
For each of these accreditations DCS must maintain a Continuing Improvement Plan and must have a team from the accrediting agencies visit the school every five years for renewal. The last site visit was in October 2021 and our accreditation was renewed until 2026
