College Board is an American not-for-profit organization that was formed in December 1899 as the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) to expand access to higher education.

While College Board is not an association of colleges, it runs a membership association of institutions, including over 6,000 schools, colleges, universities and other educational organizations.

College Board develops and administers standardized tests and curricula used by K–12 and post-secondary education institutions to promote college-readiness and as part of the college admissions process.

College Board is headquartered in New York City.

David Coleman has been the president of College Board since October 2012.

He replaced Gaston Caperton, former Governor of West Virginia, who had held this position since 1999.

Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research.

The methodology of teaching is called pedagogy.

Accreditation is the process in which certification of competency, authority, or credibility is presented.
