Standards of Excellence

At Bracken, we are committed to providing an excellent, Christ-centered education that meets the highest standards of quality. We are proud to be dually accredited for Kindergarten through Grade 12 by both the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and Cognia—two leading organizations dedicated to advancing excellence in education.

Bracken has been an active member of ACSI since 1998, a partnership that reflects our long-standing dedication to academic rigor, spiritual growth, and Christian leadership. Our accreditation is also recognized by the Texas Private School Accreditation Commission (TEPSAC), which ensures quality across private schools in Texas. Through TEPSAC’s connection with the Texas State Commissioner of Education, our accreditation provides important benefits, including:

• Transferability of student credits to Texas public schools.
• Recognition of teacher service in accredited non-public schools for salary “Accreditation means Bracken Christian School meets trusted standards of quality in education and care. For our families, it’s assurance that a Bracken education from K4–12th is both recognized and respected.”purposes within the Texas public system.

Beyond the classroom, Bracken offers a wide range of opportunities for students to grow, lead, and excel. Our athletic programs compete in the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) and the Independent School Athletic League of San Antonio (ISAL). Academically, our High School students participate in TAPPS competitions, our Middle School students engage in Private Schools Interscholastic Association (PSIA) events, and our Elementary students proudly compete in PSIA as well.

In addition to being accredited through the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), our PreK program is also fully certified by the State of Texas, ensuring both academic excellence and compliance with state standards while remaining rooted in a Christ-centered foundation.
