"ACCREDITATION"
I don?t know much about it but it looks like John Bundy aka Thayer learning center aka parent help center could be real wheeler-dealers. You will see on parent help center?s website:
http://www.parenthelpcenter.org/view.ph ... einfo=trueProudly proclaiming Thayer Learning Centers academic program:
Academics
Thayer Learning Center offers several choices for High School and College Prep. There is a High School diploma program offered with accredited courses. Students have the ability to move at their own pace and learning ability. Competent staff and tutors are provided at every stage of their education. Instead of focusing on High School, TLC pushes college bound curriculum. Each student is assessed upon admission by our Education Specialist and then guided through designing their own specific course for success. TLC takes special care in working with each resident's home school to ensure proper course work is completed in the event they return to their home school for graduation. Students will also earn Quickbooks Pro Certification, and also become CPR/First Aid Ceritified.
Then mention the wonderful ?accreditation agency? that supports them:
School Credentials
Education is accredited through "American Schools"
Who is ?American schools?? There is no mention under various word scenarios found under google?s search engine! More importantly it is not respected by the United States Department of Education. It is probably a joke. Can you imagine applying to even a community college with a degree from Thayer learning boot camp /military school/ Christian school/ or whatever they claim to be, accredited by none other than the widely unknown (if it even exists) ?American Schools??
Almost all respectable schools are accredited through regionally accreditation agencies. They include as can be found on the US Department of Education:

NEW ENGLAND ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES:

WESTERN ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES--
National Institutional and Specialized Accrediting Bodies
ACCREDITING ASSOCIATION OF BIBLE COLLEGES--
ACCREDITING COUNCIL FOR INDEPENDENT COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS:
No mention of ?American Schools?.
You will also find that they have a number of former clients that are looking to sue them, that in and of itself does not seem unusual in today?s world especially in that industry but most of the other schools being sued have hundreds or perhaps thousands of enrolled students so those that attempt to sue are a very small percentage of their clients as opposed to an ?American School? that hasn?t been in business two years I think it will be interesting to see how Mr. Bundy and Thayer and ?American schools? turn out.
