| South Carolina Home Educators Association (SCHEA) |
SCHEA was formed in 1987 to support home educators in South Carolina and to perform a lead role to create legal protection for home education in South Carolina. SCHEA, working with many other concerned individuals and organizations, was instrumental in convincing the state legislature to create the first South Carolina law requiring recognition of home schooling in 1988.
Today, committed volunteer home school families from across the state continue to work through SCHEA to create opportunities and support to the home school community and promote an accurate and favorable image of home education in South Carolina.
WHAT WE OFFER
* SCHEA monitors legislation on the state and federal level that could affect home schoolers and provides alerts and updates when such legislation requires swift action on the part of home schoolers.
* SCHEA produces an annual two-day convention, complete with vendors, workshops, and nationally known keynote speakers. This state event offers opportunities for education, encouragement, fellowship, and curriculum shopping.
* SCHEA operates an information system networked with support groups across the state communicating events and announcements.
* SCHEA sponsors the annual SC Homeschool Debate Tournament each spring. Winners of this tournament are eligible to compete nationally.
* SCHEA sponsors the state chapter, Rho Gamma, of the Eta Sigma Alpha National Home School Honor Society to recognize academically gifted homeschooled students in South Carolina.
* SCHEA offers additional educational and unity-building opportunities through regional leadership training seminars. |
