    Fully accredited, online private school for K-12

    Laurel Springs School is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and Cognia. This shows our commitment to high educational standards and ensures each K-12 student has a premier learning experience with us.

    • Why Accreditation Matters

      Attending a fully accredited private school helps your child pursue their dream college. It is especially beneficial for students aiming for out-of-state colleges or universities because many require a diploma from an accredited private school. Also, in some states, attending an accredited school makes students eligible for state-wide scholarships and military programs.

    Parent/Guardian Information

    Disclaimer: In an effort to help your child be successful within our program, we ask some questions to better understand their background allowing us to better assist your family with the transition to Laurel Springs. You can change your answers at any time, and your answers do not impact your child's ability to enroll.

    We ask this in the event your child had any special education programming, special learning style supports, or additional aide/therapist that might be needed while attending Laurel Springs.
    We ask this question in the event your child would benefit from some kind of accommodations at school aside from the naturally accommodating, self-paced learning style with Laurel Springs. Or in case we have any in person events - at some future date - anything we should be aware about for safety/health reasons.
