The SCAIHS board and staff are committed to helping families experience success in homeschooling.

By endorsing both traditional and more creative approaches to education. SCAIHS allows for variety and flexibility in curriculum choices. Parents may use traditional curriculum provided by textbook publishers or nontraditional materials from various sources as well as field trips, travel experiences, computer programs, educational television/videos, and other innovations in technology.

Reports & Records

Progress reports summarizing the student’s studies are designed to assist the parent in documenting educational progress and accomplishments.

Permanent records are kept for each student. Should a member student transfer to a public or private school from the homeschool or seek admission to a college or university, SCAIHS will issue a transcript to that institution upon the parent’s written request. This documentation is especially critical at the high school level. (Pertinent graduate records are kept permanently. Other records are purged after three years of inactivity.)
