If I'm understanding the situation correctly (anyone who knows more is
*definitely* welcome to add), the information on ***the ACCS web site is no
longer correct with respect to NSA.***

NSA originally sought accreditation from ACCS several years ago.
Subsequently, ACCS decided not to get into the accreditation of colleges and
to focus on (I believe) primary and secondary schools.  For whatever reason,
ACCS hadn't updated that particular information on their Web site since
then, so NSA was still showing up as an accredited ACCS school.

This oversight will apparently be corrected and NSA removed from the listing
of ACCS schools (although I assume NSA will still be listed as a member
school since NSA is an ACCS charter member).  I believe the ACCS plan is to
include more information in the future on their Web site about what ACCS
accreditation means.  Naturally, 'accreditation' means different things when
looking at K12 than it does when looking at postsecondary education.

So, the information I posted re: NSA being accredited by ACCS was based on
outdated information.  My sincere apologies for any confusion this caused.
