ASIC isn't a U.S. national accreditor though. Did you mistake that for ACICS, Rachel? By the way, ACICS just lost their accreditation powers in the States. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/educa...510216002/
ASIC accreditation is associated with the UK border agency inspections. Nexford is actually seeking real national accreditation (DEAC) in the U.S. The proper term is institutional accreditation, as the U.S. is moving away from the national vs. regional model. However, the institutional accreditation has not been awarded at this point in time. https://www.deac.org/Public-Notices/Inst...dered.aspx

ASIC is an independent company with no formal recognition to accredit or inspect international schools on behalf of the UK government, obtaining an ASIC approved qualification or certificate from one of these international institutions therefore holds no formal recognition in the UK."
