Alliance Homeschool Accountability Association (AHAA) is open to everyone in South Carolina who wants to homeschool their children, regardless of your religious creed, church denomination, or the city you live. They run the accountability association under a non-profit model, with a combination of paid staff and a large network of volunteers, which helps us keep membership fees as low as possible. Its task is to give homeschool families an affordable and engaging opportunity to educate their children under Section 59-65-47, which is also known as "Option 3" or "Third Option" home school accountability, of South Carolina's educations laws detailed in "Title 59 - Eduction". In just a few short years, that ministry quickly grew into a network of over 1,500 families in virtually every county of South Carolina. In 2014, AHAA had grown to such a degree that it had to become its own entity with a formal organizational structure including a President, Membership Operations, and a Board.
