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 83-92. These sixteen
units must include English A, B, C, Mathematics A1, A2, B, 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.
