The MorningStar Academy adheres to a rigid formula of academic excellence (based upon the national McREL curriculum standards) and believes in strict academic accountability. Our teams of Curriculum Developers and Teachers all require an advanced educational degree and an average of four years professional experience in the academic setting, specifically with a focus in online education. Our nationally accredited academy has also been recognized by the NCAA and ETS (English & Textual Studies) as a private school.
The MorningStar Academy believes in setting the benchmark for an updated and accessible curriculum. For example, with the adoption of the formal definition of planets in 2006, The MorningStar Academy was able to immediately update our curriculum and clarify Pluto's role in our solar system. Our courses were revised within 24-hours of this solar revelation. This example of seamlessly updating the curriculum, instead of waiting until the end of the year for textbook reprints, enables our academy to provide students with the most updated information possible.
Due to our high expectations and rigid requirements, other K-12 schools, private institutions, high schools, Universities and colleges have universally accepted student-transfers and their core credits from The MorningStar Academy.
It is universally accepted that the acceptablity or transferrability of credits from one institution to another is strictly the decision of the "receiving" institution. Parents/students who may need to have credits earned at The MorningStar Academy transferred to or accepted by another institution should always contact the admissions department of that/those institution(s) to verify. This concept is applicable not only to The MorningStar Academy but to all credit-granting and credit-receiving institutions.
