What’s Included with SC TOP Membership?

May 28, 2017 by Kim

What is Included with SC TOP Membership?

When you homeschool, you (the parent) are responsible to pick/choose the learning materials and activities. You pick/choose the learning materials and activities. You set the pace and schedule of the assignments. The law is somewhat specific about the record-keeping you have to do in order to keep track of the student’s progress.

Someone is supposed to verify that your doing the record-keeping requirements. That’s what SC TOP does–we hold you accountable to those record-keeping requirements. But, we also believe that the records are really common sense stuff that you would want to do, even if the law didn’t say so.

SC TOP is also here to encourage you whenever you feel like you’re stuck and not making progress. We’re your ally to walk with you thru the ups and downs. We celebrate the successes and commiserate the difficulties.

SC TOP Membership includes: 

  • Annual membership documents provided in digital format. Printable Certificate and Wallet Card, Withdrawal Notice/Records Request to previous school.
  • Director is available by phone/text, email and FB messenger to answer member questions
  • Online forms to verify you’re doing the record-keeping requirements: due Jan 5. and June 5.
  • Pre-recorded orientation workshops for new members/new homeschoolers
  • Members only message boards on Facebook and Slack
  • Email newsletter with important reminders and offers
  • Monthly group workshops live via zoom for educators (replay available)
  • High school transcript assistance, DMV letter, and other official documents as needed
  • Encouragement and advice from SC TOP Director and other members

Optional Add-on Services: 

  • Senior Graduation Program
  • Kindergarten Graduation and Milestone Awards Program
  • Honor Society
  • Individual Consultations for Course of Study Advisement

SC TOP does not provide the following: 

  • Curriculum: The parent is responsible to pick/choose the learning materials and activities for the student. These resources may change from year-to-year or even within a school year. SC TOP does not include these materials with the membership.
    We can provide resources to help the parent-educator locate materials.  Curriculum Ideas by subject and Quick Start/Budget-Friendly Ideas
  • Daily assignments: The parent is responsible to set the pace and schedule of the learning activities. SC TOP does not include daily interactions and does not have access to learning portals.
  • Grading/Evaluating assignments: The parent is responsible to assess the student’s progress. What’s working and what’s not working–in order to make adjustments. SC TOP is not directly involved in grading assignments and does not have access to learning portals.
  • In-person activities: SC TOP membership is open statewide. So geographically, we cannot offer in person social or educational activities. Also, given the diversity of backgrounds and personalized goals of homeschooling, it would be very difficult to meet the expectations of all our members.
    Parents are not bound to our specific “bundle” of opportunities. There’s flexibility in choosing the activities and materials that work for you and your students. We can provide resources to help parent-educator locate social and educational opportunities.
