The accrediting body, AdvancED, is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that conducts rigorous, on-site reviews of a variety of educational institutions and systems to ensure that all learners realize their full potential.

Tuition at JFWA includes lunches in the University dining hall, iPad or other personal tablet leasing and up to 30 credit hours of college coursework for junior and senior level students who meet requirements.
