ACCOUNTABILITY – A Member of ACEA

WU is a member of the ACEA (Academic Council for Educational Accountability) which provides accountability for adult Christian schools (ministry training schools, colleges, etc.) ACEA offers a creative alternative to accreditation. It uses relationship-based peer input to provide accountability through a structure that permits members to conduct peer reviews. For more info, please check http://www.acea-schools.org/partners.html.
