Array Global recognizes institutions for their outstanding work by designating a program as "Accredited with Merit." Institutions that have achieved full accreditation status may apply for this award. The work of institutions accredited with merit is showcased by Array Global as current best practices in the field of education.

The applications for this award will be sent to all institutions on March 1. The institution will be asked to describe a program or activity that had outstanding success that school year. Along with this, institutions will be asked to include documentation of that success. Programs or activities that demonstrate student growth and development will receive the highest consideration. The Array Global Board of Directors will review each submission at their annual board meeting and upon the board's recommendation the institution will be "Accredited with Merit" for the upcoming school year.

Awarded institutions will be recognized on Array Global's website, social media, and by a certificate recognizing the institution for its exceptional work.
