About

A clear public standard, not another ranking

Leading Institutions answers one question: did the school pass every applicable published requirement?

What the Guide does

Checks every eligible school in a covered area, uses public evidence, applies fixed pass marks and publishes qualifying schools A–Z.

What the Guide does not do

It does not rank, rate, accredit, certify, recommend, accept applications or sell inclusion.

Separate project

Leading Institutions has its own website, standard, directory and decisions. A Guide listing is not an ICEQC certification decision.

K–12 comes first.

Higher education and regulated vocational education will use separate standards. They will not be assessed under the K–12 checklist.
