A Distance Education Program You Can Trust

Accreditation

Did you know that many online Christian schools offer a home-school curriculum that is not regionally accredited? Griggs’ K-8 program is fully accredited by both a regional organization recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. When we administer your child’s education, you can be assured that your child is receiving the same high level of academic standards required by accredited classroom schools.

We strive to teach the student academics infused with character development. A Griggs education is recognized worldwide for providing opportunities for young people to have an education that is flexible and prepares them for a successful future.
