The September meeting of the Christian Homeschoolers of Beaufort was Monday the 24th at the Beaufort County Library Paul Siegmund Meeting Room. Our guest speaker for the evening Rachel Ward, is the administrator for Homeward Education Association, a third-option association located in Sumter, SC. Rachel covered several homeschool topics, shared her experience as a homeschool mom and opened the floor for questions. A variety of questions and concerns were raised including preparing for college, testing, and record keeping (grades, transcripts).
Information about upcoming changes to expect, requirements for high school students, qualifications for scholarships, news from the SC Commission on Education, and the importance of legal assistance groups like HSLDA, statewide accountability groups and local support groups.
We were pleased to meet several homeschool families who are new to the area, others who are interested in joing CHSB and those who specifically came to hear Rachel Ward. It was a lovely evening filled with great fellowship and we look forward to having more of like kind during the school year.
