2Sigma School Earns Cognia Accreditation
Santa Clara, CA (July 04, 2023) —
2Sigma School, a premier online school for advanced computer science education, announced today that it has earned
accreditation by Cognia™,
a nonprofit organization that provides quality assurance for schools, school districts, and education service providers.
Cognia, formerly AdvancED, nationally recognizes schools that meet rigorous standards focused on productive learning environments, equitable resource allocation that meets the needs of learners,
and effective leadership. Earning accreditation from the Cognia Global Accreditation Commission means that the school is accredited, and that 2Sigma School
is recognized across the nation as a school that meets Cognia Standards of Quality, and maintains a commitment to continuous improvement.
"School accreditation as conferred by the Cognia Global Accreditation Commission provides 2Sigma School a nationally recognized mark of quality for our school," shared Vishal Goenka, founder/CEO.
"It demonstrates to our community our commitment to excellence, our openness to external review and feedback, and our desire to be the best we can be on behalf of the students we serve."
To earn Cognia accreditation,
a school also must implement a continuous process of improvement, and submit to internal and external review.
Schools in good standing can maintain their accreditation for a five-year term.
Dr. Mark A. Elgart, president and CEO of Cognia, stated, "Cognia Accreditation is a rigorous process that focuses the entire school and its community on the primary goal
of preparing lifelong learners in engaging environments where all students can flourish. 2Sigma School is to be commended for demonstrating that it has met high standards and
is making progress on key indicators that impact student learning."
Cognia is the parent organization of the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI),
Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI).
