Accreditation
Program of Wicca
About APW
Welcome!
Accreditation for Wiccan Institutions, Covens, and stand-alone classes has been a dream of the Aquarian Tabernacle Church since the inception of Woolston-Steen Theological Seminary over 20 years ago. This dream is finally reaching its fruition through the Accreditation Program of Wicca!
The Accreditation Program of Wicca (APW) is a 501c3 Nonprofit dedicated to creating and keeping a high standard of education across Wiccan practices. As our world continues to expand and technology brings knowledge to corners that were unreachable before, we have found it is important to have a network of trusted educators that have been vetted.
Our Mission is to:
Create a Network
The APW strives to bring Wiccan educators together in meeting and creating a network of religious training recognized for its high standards.
Provide Legitimate Programs
The APW, a 501c3 Nonprofit, provides public information which allows students to find legitimate programs of Wiccan religious education.
Plan for the Future
The APW works towards the long-term goal of attaining recognition for Wiccan religious training programs by the US Department of Education.
Why is Accreditation beneficial?
Accreditation creates a quality assurance of educational standards. The standards establish education quality expectations and assess an institution’s ability to meet the needs of 21st century graduates and the community at large.
Accreditation standards are designed to accommodate the need for institutions to follow different paths and methods of providing education beyond those of traditional campus-based programs or closed coven-based experiences.
Additionally, by meeting the unique needs of modern students in a growing religion, the student, course and program delivery can expand an institution’s reach beyond that of traditional Wiccan training to a national and international presence.
When accredited Wiccan education institutions and groups are successful, students can benefit, and this benefits Wicca. Students can choose the institutions that best meet their needs while being provided assurances that the chosen program has been required to comply with the precise and rigorous standards.
