GOODYEAR, Ariz., April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Verano Learning Partners announced today that it has earned accreditation by Cognia™, a nonprofit organization that provides quality assurance for schools, school districts, and education service providers.

Cognia, formerly AdvancED, nationally recognizes districts that meet rigorous standards focused on productive learning environments, equitable resource allocation that meets the needs of learners, and effective leadership. Earning accreditation from the Cognia Global Accreditation Commission means that the schools are accredited, and that Verano Learning Partners is recognized across the nation as an educational leader that meets Cognia Standards of Quality, and maintains a commitment to continuous improvement.

"Accreditation as conferred by the Cognia Global Accreditation Commission provides Verano Learning Partners with a nationally recognized mark of quality for our schools," shared Tim Moran, VP of Public Affairs.
