South Carolina homeschool letter of intent

It depends on the option. Option 1 requires approval from the local district board of trustees. Options 2 and 3 work through SCAIHS or a qualifying homeschool association rather than a simple statewide notice form.

Option 1 families apply to the local school district board of trustees. Option 2 families enroll with the South Carolina Association of Independent Home Schools. Option 3 families enroll with a qualifying homeschool association with at least 50 members.

The available sources do not show one single statewide filing deadline for every option. For sports under the equal-access law, written notice to the district superintendent must be given before the season begins.

1. 1The current summary does not indicate a standard statewide letter-of-intent requirement for South Carolina.
2. 2If your child is currently enrolled in a public or private school, still confirm the withdrawal process with the school so the absence is not treated as truancy.
3. 3Keep a dated withdrawal or unenrollment record for your own files.

Template starter for school withdrawal only: “Please withdraw my child from enrollment effective [date]. We will be providing education outside the school system as permitted under South Carolina law.” Confirm whether your school requests additional withdrawal information.
