The standards-led directory for accredited online schools.
IVSA exists to make the global virtual-schools landscape legible - for families choosing a school, for agents recommending one, and for schools earning trust beyond their home country.
Editorial firewall
Verification is independent of payment. Paying members can and do fail review. We refund and remove rather than relax our standards.
Real accreditation
Only accredited curricula delivered primarily online qualify. No exam-prep services, no diploma mills.
Transparent process
Schools see what is being reviewed, why a decision was made, and how to fix gaps. Decisions are appealable.
Global by design
Built to serve every continent: starting in North America with deliberate footholds across Africa, Europe, Asia, and beyond.
Our standards
- Accreditation evidence. Active accreditation from a recognized body, verified against current registers.
- Operating identity. Business registration and proof of operating address from a public registry.
- Authorized contact. A named principal or director willing to sign as the responsible party.
- Online delivery. Primary mode of instruction must be virtual or hybrid - not a hybrid in name only.
- Honest claims. Public-facing claims about programs, fees, and outcomes match what schools tell us privately.
