   There are six regional accreditors in the US, and they are the gold standard for accreditation both at the secondary level (high school) and at the college level. All legitimate bricks-and-mortar secondary schools and community and 4 year colleges are accredited by one of the regionals.
   
   
   
   
   The so-called "National Association for the Legal Support of Alternative Schools" is a fraudulent accreditor not recognized by US DoEd.
   
   
   
   
   No credible school "withdraws" voluntarily from regional accreditation, though the regionals will sometimes allow a school to do this to save face.
   
   
   
   
   If you want to check on the legitimacy of a school's claims of being accredited by a US DoEd accreditor, use the CHEA.org website. This is the official accreditor-of-accreditors, and it has the only comprehensive list of accredited schools (provided by each of the individual accreditors they recognize) You'll see that Continental Academy is not in their database.

   Continental Academy is accredited and has been continously accredited by the National Association for the Legal Support of Alternative Schools (NALSAS) since year 2000. NALSAS and the Home School Legal Defense Association have made significant contributions in making homeschooling legal in all 50 states.  The regional accreditors that guest 20375493 described are private companies that are ONLY recognized for the accreditation of postsecondary institutions (colleges and universities). They are NOT recognized for the accreditation of elementary or secondary schools.  The U.S. Dept. of Education's position can be verified as follows: http://www2.ed.gov/admins/finaid/accred/accreditation_pg2.html#U.S.Note: The U.S. Department of Education does not have the authority to accredit private or public elementary or secondary schools, and the Department does not recognize accrediting bodies for the accreditation of private or public elementary and secondary schools. However, the U.S. Department of Education does recognize accrediting bodies for the accreditation of institutions of higher (postsecondary) education. If an accrediting body which is recognized by the Department for higher education also accredits elementary and secondary schools, the Department's recognition applies ONLY to the agency's accreditation of postsecondary institutions.
