I wonder if this has any relation to Waldorf wanting to split off from them.

I think it's better when schools become accredited.  I hope they make it.

Keep in mind that an upgrade in accreditation often comes with the school deciding that the new accreditation is worth more, and so we could see the price jump. This isn't a given, but it happens.

Has anyone tried to transfer a course from here to TESU before? Sergeants Association is offering a free class here, but there is no point if TESU won't take it. Not sure if general rules about NA credit change once somewhere is under RA review.
