Homeschooling Legal Compliance

Legacy Christian Homeschools is a support and encouragement group, not an accountability group. Every family needs to choose one of the 3 legal options in order to homeschool in South Carolina. See www.HSLDA.org for more information about your legal options and the need to be in an accountability group.

Indicate the accountability organization you use to comply with SC law. 9.

Guidelines for Events, Field Trips, Classes and Standardized Testing

To the outside community, we are witnesses not only for homeschooling but also of Christ. Also, we want to ensure our children get the most benefit from our classes and field trips together. For these reasons, the following guidelines have been delineated:

Parents and children are expected to be attentive, courteous, and cooperative. Parents are responsible for their children's behavior and must ensure that their children are appropriately responsive to any adult giving instruction or assistance. We also ask that parents be exemplary role models and not talk with each other during instructional periods.
Please have your children dress neatly, modestly and appropriately for the event. Please, choose modest length shorts, skirts, tops and t-shirts without controversial graphics or words.
The field trip coordinator/adult chaperone/class instructor has the authority to speak to your child about disruptive behavior. Respectful and prompt obedience is expected. Repeated offenses may lead to a child being asked not to participate in events for a specific time set by the Board.
Check beforehand with the event coordinator as to the appropriateness of bringing young children. If it is appropriate to bring them, please be prepared to remove them should they become a distraction to others. Behavior that is normal and acceptable for young children may simply not be appropriate at certain events, especially if it impairs the learning of others.
Field Trips, Classes and Testing coordinated and organized by Legacy may be attended by active Legacy members only unless designated differently by the instructor, group guide, or event coordinator.

(1 required) I agree with the guidelines above

Statement of Faith

After carefully reading each statement, please check below that you agree with the entire Statement of Faith.

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only, infallible authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential and that this salvation is received through faith alone in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and not as a result of good works.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling, the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and to perform good works.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved to the resurrection of life and they that are lost to the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
