An "external third-party accreditation agency" is a private educational association of regional or national scope. It develops evaluation criteria and conducts peer evaluations to assess whether or not those criteria are met by the local school that has joined the association. Schools that request an agency's evaluation and that meet the agency's criteria are then "accredited" by that agency.
