Dr. John Tisdale, ATS President met with Dr. Scheel, President of ACI (Accrediting Commission International ) Thursday 07/14/2016 and 07/15/2016 for ACI's onsite inspection of Anchor Theological Seminary. Anchor passed the onsite inspection and have therefore, moved from Candidate Status to Full Accreditation Status.
Anchor Theological Seminary and Bible Institute is aligned with the Accrediting Commission International, P. O. Drawer 102, Beebe, Arkansas 72012, the world’s largest non-government school accrediting association. Their website is www.accreditnow.com . This alignment is evaluated on an annual basis by both the accrediting institution and by the school.
Accrediting Commission International is not recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. This area of responsibility is brought before the Board for an annual review and decision. The agency to which we have accepted accountability refrains from dictating school policy, while offering recommendations, suggestions, and directions for strengthening and for development of higher quality education. Transfer or recognition of past studies ultimately is handled by the individual school to which one is applying. Our status is that of "Candidate for Accreditation" but should shortly be fully accredited.
As Bible believers we recognize we are to operate in accordance with the laws of the land and pledge to comply with all city, county, state, federal, and international codes of operation.
