Coming Soon: Free Course Selection Guide for High School Homeschool

We’re excited to share that a new resource is coming soon for our members!

We are currently developing a Course Selection Guide for Homeschools designed to support high school planning using South Carolina’s educational standards. The guide is based on South Carolina’s traditional high school pathways, which are used as primary reference pathways to help families understand alignment and expectations.

Because homeschooling families follow their own unique pathways, this guide is not intended to limit course choices. Instead, it serves as a practical reference tool—helping homeschool families plan high school coursework with confidence while maintaining the flexibility that homeschooling allows.

This resource will be available to members at no cost.

More details will be shared soon, including release information and access instructions.

With appreciation,
