Upstate Support Groups
Support groups are parents (or legal guardians) committed to providing information and practical help that addresses the concerns of homeschooling parents. Most offer curricular advice, support meetings, field trips, classes, and other varied activities. Membership in a support group does not constitute compliance with SC homeschool laws; members of a support group also need to choose an option such as an accountability association, or approval of a local school district as specified in 59-65-40, 59-65-45, or 59-65-47.
