What is the history of Somerset Accreditation?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Somerset Neighborhood School was one of the first Charter schools in\u00a0 Florida to receive SACS Accreditation which validated our philosophy of\u00a0 continuing to upgrade our rigorous curriculum, setting high expectations for all\u00a0 stakeholders, and striving to prepare our students to become 21st century\u00a0 learners. Thereafter, every Somerset School that opened followed and was awarded\u00a0 accreditation. In 2008, Somerset Academy Inc, was the first charter school\u00a0 system to receive District Accreditation from AdvancED Sacs Casi and is now\u00a0 preparing to renew the process of continuing to hold to high expectations in all\u00a0 our schools by going for re-accreditation.<\/div>\n
