If you think a private school may be an option for your family, the South Carolina Department of Education provides a list.This list does not necessarily reflect the schools that will be approved for participation in the program, but it will serve as a general guide.

Five independent school associations in South Carolina are members of the Council for American Private Education: South Carolina.

Association of Christian Schools International
