EASEA organized in 2002 as a private school accrediting association recognized by the Tennessee State Board of Education. Additionally, it provides teacher certification, staff development, technical counsel and liaison services to the state, the church, and other agencies. It provides accreditation to Advent Home Learning Center, Ouachita Hills College and Academy, Fletcher Academy, Harbert Hills Academy, Heritage Academy, Laurelbrook Academy, and Miracle Meadows School Inc. Project funds will help replace a regular source of funding that was recently lost.
