About Us

The Noah Webster Center for Independent Study was established in 2000, by the Board of Character Corner, Inc., to serve the home school community by offering an accreditation option for home educated high school students. Our purpose was to provide a support structure for home schooling parents with high school students preparing for college.

The Center relied almost entirely on an adjunct faculty.  Through the cooperative efforts of the home teachers,  registered tutors, and our staff of counselors and proctors;  the Noah Webster Center provided curriculum counseling and mentoring in home education as the foundation for an evaluation and professional recognition through accreditation for the education earned in independent study.  

 The Noah Webster Center was accredited as a non-traditional educational center, by the Georgia Accrediting Commission. Our accreditation assures that the student’s graduation is identified with a professional recognition and the approval of a professional accrediting group. This accreditation is recognized by the Georgia Board of Regents and The Noah Webster Center is included on the Georgia Student Finance Commission’s list of HOPE-eligible schools. Graduates of the Center seeking college enrollment, who meet the qualifications are immediately eligible for the Georgia HOPE scholarship. Students who participate in joint enrollment programs in the Georgia University System during their junior and senior years are also eligible for the Move on When Ready (MOWR) program.
