Documentation: SC Code of Law, Section 59-65-47 is established for “Third
Option” accountability associations, home schools, and their requirements.
Parents or guardians maintaining a valid membership with a
“Third Option” accountability association, which has no fewer than fifty
members, may teach their children from the home school setting. Continuing
compliance with the academic standards and requirements of a “ Third Option”
accountability association exempts the home school from the requirements placed
upon the “First Option” (provided in section 59-65-40), or the “Second Option”
(provided in section 59-65-45)
The office of PIE recommends members maintain a copy of the
following documentation with their educational records.
