View Full Version : Is there a state where new homeschoolers must sign up with an existing support group?

As part of the state law?

I thought I read this somewhere. But now I don't remember which state it was.

Thanks!

My sister-in-law is in SC and I think they have to be part of a homeschool "association." I'm not sure how that works.

Yup. I went through all 50 states at the HSLDA website, and South Carolina was the only one where signing up with a support group was an option (the most attractive option) for initiating a homeschool.

One of my SIL's homeschools that way in SC. She has to report her curriculum, grades, and attendance to them as well (every group is a little different).

Frankly I think I have it easier in our state because I don't have to report any of that even though I report directly to the county once a year!
