Umm...not sure exactly what you're asking. If you check out schools you can find out whether or not they have accredited programs.

Depends on whether the State you live in (or want to practice in) have special requirements for Paralegals. A lot of States now require paralegals to be certified or licensed and one of the requirements is graduation from an accredited school....
So start your legal research career early and research your state's laws regarding paralegals before you choose a program.

It depends.
Any program can be accredited but it is up to the accrediting institution and there are MANY.
First check with the school/college that you are interested in and ask them how are they or if they are accreditied.
If you need more information than this, your next best bet is to check with your state's Department of Education or in some instances Department of Higher Education (they usually handle colleges and various educational institutions) to find out additional details.
You don't need to go to an "accredited" school to get an education but if you wanted to transfer credits to another institution and they're not accredited, you may be wasting your time. They may not be accepted at other schools. Hope this helps.

If they aren't every con man would have open a school claiming to make a paralegal out of you in no time.
