AADP School Accreditation Program

A structured 5-year institutional partnership

The American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP) accredits schools through a structured, multi-year program designed to uphold educational standards, strengthen graduate outcomes, and create a verified pathway into professional certification. Accreditation is not a one-time approval. It is an ongoing partnership with annual renewal requirements, graduate reporting, and a mandatory 3-year comprehensive checkpoint review within a 5-year term.

Two Levels of School Status

Application School (Under Review)

Schools that have formally applied and are undergoing evaluation by the AADP Accreditation Board.
  • In active standards review
  • Not authorized to market as “Accredited”
  • May not use the Accredited School Seal
  • Status remains until Board determination

Accredited School (Active Partner)

Schools that have met AADP standards and participate in the required Graduate Certification Pipeline Program.
  • Use of AADP Accredited School Seal
  • Public listing in Accredited School Directory
  • Graduate certification pathway access
  • Annual renewal + reporting requirements

The 5-Year Accreditation Model

AADP accreditation operates under a 5-year term with annual renewals and a mandatory 3-year comprehensive checkpoint review. Accreditation remains active only while annual obligations and participation requirements are maintained.

Required Graduate Certification Pipeline

All Accredited Schools participate in a structured Graduate Certification Pipeline to ensure verifiable graduate outcomes and a clear pathway into professional certification. Participation is a requirement of Accredited status.

Governance & Accountability

AADP maintains oversight through annual compliance confirmation, performance metrics review, and Board-supervised accreditation decisions, including probation and status changes when required.
