JUNE 2011 PRESS RELEASE:

"It is with great pleasure we inform you that the National Private Schools Accreditation Group, Inc. has announced The Apple Tree Pre-School and Academy as being Fully Accredited for the tenth year as an outstanding Academic Institution, with all the rights and privileges thereunto appertaining.

This Fully Accredited Status demonstrates that The Apple Tree Pre-School and Academy is committed to Professionalism, assures Public Confidence in the Private Schools Educational Mission, and confirms their well-deserved reputation.  Apple Tree Pre-School and Academy is an outstanding Private School, whose quality and dedication to Private Education deserve Recognition, Support and Utilization. 

There are approximately 130,000 Private Schools (PK-12) located across the U.S. who employ approximately 1,700,000 Administrators, Teachers and Staff.  Current enrollment in Private Schools is estimated to be approximately 13,600,000 students who, along with their estimated 23 million parents, share a renewed enthusiasm for Private Education, the long-standing tradition in the U.S. and other civilized societies.

George Washington, Queen Elizabeth II, Thomas Edison and Theodore Roosevelt are all outstanding examples of Private School students.  Private School students, on average, have better attendance records, fewer discipline problems, and "test-out" higher than most students attending the public school system, at large, when using recognized and standardized testing and assessment methods.

Private Schools generally operate without the benefit of public tax dollars, have no huge bureaucracy, complex infrastructure and school bussing system to support them.  Yet, Independent Private Schools continue to survive economically and focus on quality education, all the while serving solely at the pleasure of the discerning public."
