ACADEMICS / ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION RESOURCES

Kansas
Private schools are accredited by the Kansas Board of Education. Each autumn, the Board publishes the Kansas Educational Directory that lists all accredited private and public schools in the state. This comprehensive directory is available at public libraries and school administration buildings. It is also available online. For information on parochial schools, consult the appropriate diocese website:
