Founded in 1985, SACS is a voluntary, non-governmental agency comprised of more than 13,000 accredited colleges and universities, elementary schools, middle schools, and secondary schools. Headquartered in Decatur, Georgia, the agency serves 11 Southern states from Virginia to Texas as well as Mexico, countries in Central and South America, the islands of the Caribbean, and other geographic areas.

Accreditation is a process of helping institutions improve through ongoing self-assessment against quality standards, rigorous on-site evaluation by peers, and a continuous commitment to providing quality education programs that are aimed at improving student performance.
