A school gets Cognia accreditation only after meeting five broad standards. These five standards are -
- (a) The institution must achieve a satisfactory level of teaching which could fulfill students and parents' highest expectations of achievement in academics.
- (b) The institution's management must support students and maintain a healthy learning environment, free of any kind of discrimination based on any biasness.
- (c) The institution must practice all such practices that ensure teaching standards remain high and teachers and students share a healthy level of trust. The above-mentioned practices include "maintaining standard teacher to student ratio", "incorporating digital and new age tools into teaching", etc.
- (d) The institution must have proper infrastructure for proper learning of students and also to propagate their wholesome development. Infrastructure related to teaching includes classrooms, library, labs, etc., but the school must also have facilities for sports and other such extracurricular activities.
- (e) The institution must analyze the results of both its students and itself to continuously improve. It will make studying easier for students every year while maintaining the highest standard of education by the institution.

1) Not evident
