ACCREDITED SCHOOLS.
Conditions for the Accrediting of Schools.—A school desiring to be
placed on the accredited list of the University should apply to the Chairman
of the Committee on Accredited Schools. In response to the application,
a blank form inquiring into the course of study, faculty, etc., of the
school will be sent to the principal. Upon the return of this blank, properly
filled out, a representative of the University will be sent to inspect
the school, and to report on such matters as the quality of instruction, the
general intellectual and moral tone of the school, and the efficiency of the
equipment, especially library and laboratory facilities. If his report is
favorable and the Committee concurs, the school will be accepted and the
principal duly notified. The name of the school will be entered upon the
list of accredited schools and published in the catalogue of the University.
Each school must meet the following requirements:
(1) A course of study covering not less than four years of high-school
work, based on at least seven years of competent elementary instruction,
and embracing at least sixteen units as defined on pages 85-95. These sixteen
units must include English A, B, C, Mathematics A, B, C, and one
unit of History. Those schools which wish to prepare students for the
study of Latin in the University must offer instruction in this subject to
the extent of four units.
(2) A teaching force of not less than three teachers, each of whom
devotes his entire time to high-school instruction, and conducts not more
than seven recitation periods a day. The University will scrutinize with
extreme care any school in which any instructor teaches more than six
periods a day. All teachers should possess college training, and preference
will be given to those schools in which the teachers are college graduates.
List of Accredited Schools.—The following is a list of the schools
within the State of Virginia at present accredited by the University. This
list is revised annually by the Committee, and any school which fails to
report to the Committee when requested to do so, or which fails to maintain
the standard above specified, may be removed therefrom.
