The Tennessee State Department of Education and the Tennessee Board of Education have recognized TANAS as an approved accrediting agency since March 1989. This allows TANAS personnel to inspect, counsel and approve schools seeking accreditation. However, a school may also seek membership with TANAS, without seeking state approval or accreditation. For a clearer idea of your options, see School Classifications. In March of 2005 we implemented a School Improvement Incentive Program. The SIIP is designed to be a road map to help either the beginner school or the more established school.
