I found an easy-to-understand definition of accredited homeschooling on Wikipedia: Accreditation is a type of quality assurance process under which a facility's or institution's services and operations are examined by a third-party accrediting agency to determine if applicable standards are met.

In primitive geometrical terms, an ellipse is the figure you can draw in the sand by the following process: Push two sticks into the sand. Take a piece of string and form a loop that is big enough to go around the two sticks and still have some slack.
A circle is a closed curved shape that is flat. That is, it exists in two dimensions or on a plane. In a circle, all points on the circle are equally far from the center of the circle. An ellipse is also a closed curved shape that is flat. Instead of having all points the same distance from the center point, though, an ellipse is shaped so that when you add together the distances from two points inside the ellipse (called the foci) they always add up to the same number.
