SC Homeschool Options

CHSB strongly encourages families to select one of the legal options outlined in South Carolina Home Schooling Statutes. There are currently three options from which to choose. However, compulsory school age* and required subjects** apply to all home educators regardless of which option they select.

South Carolina Law Compulsory School Age: "five years of age before September first until...seventeenth birthday or graduation from high school"; five-year-olds may be excused from kindergarten with submission of written notice to the school district.

South Carolina Law Required Subjects: Reading, writing, math, science, and social studies; Also composition and literature in grades 7-12
