There are no requirements for accreditation for nonpublic schools, however, registration is mandatory in the form of a Certificate of Approval from the Maryland State Board of Education. Bona fide church organizations are exempt from this requirement, although the school must be registered with the state and present acceptable evidence of the church organization legal authority status.
A certificate of Approval is also required by Maryland to operate “noncollegiate educational institutions.” This certificate is based on appropriateness and adequacy of the facilities, educational requirements, standards and personnel requirements.
Teachers approved under private pay are required to have a bachelor’s degree or 120 semester hour equivalent with the exception of those teaching subjects other than English, language arts, mathematics, social studies and science. The State Board of Education is responsible for establishing minimum requirements for issuing diplomas. Approved schools must have a curriculum that reflects the same courses taught in public schools.
Nonpublic schools must remain in compliance with applicable health, fire safety and zoning regulations. All employees of nonpublic schools who have access to students must undergo a criminal background check.

A therapeutic boarding school is a type of boarding school that provides a structured and therapeutic environment for students who are experiencing emotional, behavioral, or mental health issues. These schools combine academic education with intensive therapy, counseling, and other therapeutic activities to help students address and overcome their challenges. Therapeutic boarding schools typically have a team of mental health professionals, including therapists, counselors, and psychiatrists, who work with students to develop individualized treatment plans. These plans may include individual and group therapy sessions, family therapy, medication management, and other forms of support. In addition to therapy, students at therapeutic boarding schools participate in a range of activities designed to build self-esteem, improve social skills, and develop healthy habits. These activities may include outdoor recreation, art therapy, music therapy, and physical fitness programs. The ultimate goal of a therapeutic boarding school is to help students develop the skills and strategies they need to manage their emotions, behaviors, and mental health challenges, and to succeed academically and in their personal lives. Therapeutic boarding schools may also be known as emotional growth schools, residential treatment centers, or therapeutic communities. Other names for these types of schools may include: therapeutic schools, therapeutic academies, behavioral schools, therapeutic wilderness programs, alternative schools, troubled teen programs, motional and behavioral schools, therapeutic ranches, special needs schools
