Your Homeschool Journey. Your Way.

Inclusive homeschool accountability and community for South Carolina families.

Fox & Chalk Academy is a developing South Carolina homeschool association planning to offer Option 3 accountability services once the applicable requirements are met. We welcome families of every race, faith, background, identity, family structure, and ability. We respect each family's approach to home education and believe every child deserves an opportunity to thrive.

Membership

Planned annual accountability membership is charged per student. Instructional classes and tutoring are not included and are never required for membership.

• $35 per student for the remaining 2026–2027 school year, if the Academy launches during that school year.
• $50 per student per school year at the standard annual rate.
• Membership fees will be collected at formal registration, not when joining the interest list.

Membership Services We're Planning

• Option 3 homeschool accountability membership and guidance
• High school academic records and transcript support
• Customized parent-signed diploma assistance
• Optional graduation ceremonies and senior activities, with an additional graduation fee covering applicable senior expenses such as transcripts, diplomas, and regalia
• Optional field trips, events, and community activities across South Carolina; event charges may apply

Homeschool Resources

We plan to share guidance about South Carolina Option 3 requirements, homeschool recordkeeping, high school planning, and useful resources for families. Resources will be added as the Academy develops.

Understanding Parent Responsibilities

Under South Carolina Code § 59-65-47, Option 3 homeschooling requires an association with at least 50 members that meets the applicable standards. Parents or guardians who provide homeschool instruction must have at least a high school diploma or GED, provide at least 180 instructional days per year, and cover reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies, with composition and literature also required in grades 7–12. Parent-teachers maintain instructional activity records, student work portfolios, and semiannual progress reports with attendance and academic progress. The Academy plans to provide guidance, but responsibility for instruction and these records remains with the parent-teacher.

Freedom to Learn Your Way

Families may choose the curriculum, teaching methods, and educational resources that fit their learners while meeting South Carolina's homeschool requirements. Fox & Chalk Academy will not require members to take paid classes. PodsCool classes, tutoring, and enrichment programs are entirely optional and purchased separately.

Field Trips & Events

We plan to offer optional field trips, family gatherings, and community events across South Carolina. Locations, dates, availability, and any separate event fees will be announced as plans are confirmed.

Important Information

Fox & Chalk Academy is currently collecting expressions of interest only. We are not yet accepting Option 3 accountability registrations or providing legal homeschool coverage. Joining the waitlist is not a substitute for enrollment in a qualifying homeschool option. Families needing current legal homeschool accountability should maintain an appropriate existing South Carolina homeschool option until the Academy has met applicable requirements and confirms active registration. Planned services, fees, and opening dates may change.

Any customized diploma assistance will involve parent-issued documentation. Academy services do not constitute state accreditation or issuance of a South Carolina State Board of Education diploma.
