Cognia is a global accreditation agency that uses research-based performance standards that give WonderED measurable, meaningful feedback for continual improvement. No other accrediting agency gives actionable data from professional evaluators who are experienced educators. You can be confident that your child is receiving a quality education at WonderED. We proudly display the Cognia seal of educational quality that is recognized worldwide.

Accreditation ensures that a school or program meets high standards of quality recognized by educational authorities. It’s a way for families and students to know that the education they receive is credible, transferable, and respected by colleges, employers, and other institutions.

For WonderED, accreditation means our courses and learning pathways are regularly reviewed to maintain excellence in teaching, curriculum design, and student outcomes.

It also allows students to:

Earn recognized credits and diplomas that align with state and national standards.

Transfer credits more easily to other accredited schools or universities.

Qualify for scholarships, dual enrollment, and college admissions that require accredited transcripts.

In short, accreditation gives families confidence that their child’s education is both high-quality and future-ready.

Accreditation is granted to schools, programs, or institutions — not to the curriculum itself.

A curriculum can be standards-aligned or approved for use by an accredited program, but accreditation formally applies to the organization that delivers instruction, evaluates learning, and issues credit or diplomas.

In other words:

Curriculum = the content and materials students learn from.

Accreditation = the external recognition that the school or program using that curriculum meets rigorous academic and operational standards.

So, while a curriculum can be high-quality or designed to meet accredited standards, only the school or educational program can actually be accredited.

Partnering with an accredited institution like WonderED ensures that your learners, families, or organization are connected to a trusted, high-quality educational system recognized for excellence and accountability.
