The Elevate: Higher Education Accreditation Program is programmatic accreditation offered to the teacher education program/department of currently accredited ACSI member Christian liberal arts colleges, universities, and Bible colleges. Colleges and universities seeking to participate in the program must give evidence of a commitment to preparing teachers and administrators to serve in Christian schools and must show they are encouraging their graduates to prayerfully consider serving in Christian schools around the world. Elevate Accreditation involves an application, an institutional self-study, and a site visit from peer Christian educators in a process similar to other accreditation protocols. The Elevate: Higher Education Accreditation Program protocol is outlined in the handbook.
