The plain answer
FaithMap is not accredited by any institutional accreditor. We do not award academic credit. We do not confer degrees. Our completion certificates and transcripts are not equivalent to credentials issued by an accredited college, seminary, or school.
We considered pursuing accreditation. We decided not to. FaithMap exists to teach Christianity clearly, with sources you can check, and to do that as a for-profit LLC that can sustain itself without grant cycles or denominational gatekeeping. Accreditation would shape the catalog around what an accreditor wants to see rather than what we think serious learners need.
What our certificates and transcripts can do
They document what you read, which assessments you passed, and how long you spent on each course. They are useful as a record you can present to a homeschool evaluator, a parent, a pastor, or a future self who wants a reminder of what was studied.
In states where homeschool families file portfolios with a local evaluator or superintendent, FaithMap's exportable PDFs are designed to support that process: course descriptions, lesson lists, hours, assessment outcomes, optional work samples. Whether a specific evaluator accepts them depends on the evaluator. Talk to yours before you build a year around assuming they will.
What our certificates and transcripts cannot do
They do not transfer credit to a college or seminary. They do not satisfy a regulator who specifically requires accredited instruction. They do not substitute for any state-mandated curriculum that explicitly requires an accredited provider. If a real-world door requires "accredited," our transcript will not open it.
Will this change?
Possibly. If real customers ask for accreditation and the constraints work for the catalog, we'll revisit this and say so here. The default is that FaithMap is an independent learning platform: content you can verify directly, instead of trusting because someone else stamped it.
