What is SC TOP?

December 1, 2018 by Kim 2 Comments

SC TOP stands for South Carolina Third Option Participants

SC TOP is a homeschool accountability association organized under the SC Code of Laws 59-65-47; the code of law is referred to as the Third Option. Third option accountability groups trust parents to maintain their own records and choose the child’s educational best interests. SC TOP does not want to interfere with parental rights about their choices. Parents DIY their child’s education, choose their own curriculum and maintain their own record-keeping. We hold each other accountable to the minimum standard of the law.

However, third option doesn’t mean you have to figure it all on your own. We encourage our members to get involved in local support and meet-ups. SC TOP has a Facebook group for our members to support each other. The director is actively involved in REACH support group–you’re invited to join that community for local support. We can assist you finding or starting a support group elsewhere in the state, too.

Membership is only $15/student.
Plus, low-cost transcript preparation/assistance fee for all High Schoolers.
9th-10th grade $10/student and 11th-12th grade $20/student
