Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School is not an accredited school. IT does not meet government standards and the diploma will not be accepted by any state colleges, universities or military service.

The Diploma issued by Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School is not valid for entry into the Military Services - this school has been reviewed over the past year and was evaluated to not be equivalent of even a GED and placed on a "Not Valid for Entry" list.

Many diploma mills claim to be "accredited," but the accreditation is from a bogus, but official-sounding, agency they invented. Some diploma mills have slick websites, and a "dot-edu" Web address doesn't guarantee legitimacy

You can use the Internet to check if a school is accredited by a legitimate organization at a new database of accredited academic institutions, posted by the U.S. Department of Education at ope.ed.gov/accreditation.

From other contributors:

• No it is not an accredited school, I work for a University and the Department of Education does not recognize their HS diplomas, so a college can not use it as a proof of graduation.

• It may be accredited according to them, but according to the Department of Education it is not and they are the ones who need to recognize it to be eligible to attend a college.

• This high school diploma is not accepted in my county either, they said there's no one monitoring you when taking this test so it is not accepted.

• I got a diploma from Cornerstone back in 2003. I was so excited that i was the first person to graduate high school from my family in a long time. Now I'm in college in California. The college has a list of schools they won't accept diplomas from and Cornerstone is on that list. Imagine how upset i was, right? Well now the school says if the diploma has an impressed seal on it they might accept it, if not, I'll have to go get my GED. Not something i'd like. The point is that to the best of my memory Cornerstone is accredited BUT that doesn't mean that if you outside of Georgia YOUR school will accept it. The laws and rules of what they will or won't accept are VERY different from state to state. And I've learned that now. So if I were you I would be cautious before assuming that the college you want to go to will accept it just because it's accredited or says diploma. A lot of the people graduating from Cornerstone are not even in Georgia.

• NO their diplomas may be accredited but they are not recognized by the Department of Education. So a University doesn't acknowledge this as a proof of graduation and you will not be able to enter college. I work for a University and one of the individuals that tried to apply here told me he knows others who are having this same problem. Schools, even colleges, can be accredited but that doesn't guarantee that the DOE recognizes the schools credentials.

• After two semesters,with Kaplan university they pulled me out of classes because my diploma with Cornerstone was not acceptable. Now the university wants me to repay grant money because of it. What now ?

• Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School is not a real diploma. Cornerstone is not even an accredited school. Some colleges like the community one will accept it but a university will not accept it. I have a cornerstone but I went back to school and graduated from Marshall High School. So try to get your GED. Or if you not too old go back to school because that cornerstone is worthless!

• It is not valid as in accredited high school diploma for admission to most colleges.

• If Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School is not accredited how come it is that the state of Michigan paid for my cousin to get her diploma through this school and then the a college accepted it as a diploma. (It probably hasn't been caught yet)

• The school does not have the appropriate accreditation.

Answer 1: Yes, it is accredited by (IACOOS), International Accreditation Committee of Online High Schools, but if you check the Related Link below, you'll find Adison and IACOOS are both located at the same P.O. Box. Independent, wouldn't you think?

Answer 2: Any school is legitimate if it is accredited. However you need to understand a tiny bit about how accreditation works. The school you are asking about Adison High is an accredited school. Schools may change or update their accreditation status, depending on the needs of their students, or to become a more attractive option for students.

These accreditation agencies monitor the quality of educational programs offered by a school. Department of education monitors these accreditation agencies.

Answer 3: I'm sorry, but the second answer is incorrect; and likely contributed, here, by a diploma millist. Or, if not, then it was contributed by someone who doesn't actually know the "tiny bit about how accreditation works" cited in his/her second sentence, and about which s/he thought s/he was educating the questioner in the rest of what s/he wrote.

The first answer is trying to convey that both Adison and its alleged accreditor are bogus because they both share the same PO Box address. Instead of asking what the questioner thinks of that, though, s/he just should have said, directly, and unambiguously, that Adison is a diploma mill; that is "accreditor" is bogus; and that Adison's high school "diploma" isn't worth the paper on which it's written.

Had answerer #1 done that, s/he would have been correct; and inestimably more helpful.

TO BE CLEAR: Adison is a good-for-nothing diploma mill. Its diplomas aren't worth the paper on which they're written. The so-called "International Accreditation Committee of Online High Schools" (IACOOS) is not a real accreditor...

...but we know that not only because IACOOS and Adison share the same postal address (most diploma mill operators are smarter than that; so thank you, Adison/IACOOS, for being so stupid, and making it so easy for us).

We also know that Adison and IACOOS are good-for-nothing because in the United States, only the six big "regional" accreditors, approved by the US Department of Education (USDE), may accredit high schools.

Yes, there are USDE-approved "national" accreditors, and their accreditation is of very good quality. However, there is a decided anti-"national" and pro-"regional" accreditation bias regarding high school diplomas among employers, colleges/universities, the military, etc. Only a "regionally" accredited high school diploma has any real value in the real world.

And IACOOS is not one of the six big "regional" accreditors. In fact, it's not even one of the USDE-approved "national" accreditors. In fact, it's not USDE-approved -- or approved by anyone else, for that matter -- at all!

Avoid Adison -- and IACOOS -- like the plague!
