Hello, and welcome to the LCHEA website! We are a non-profit, Christian support group established for homeschooling parents in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. We have been in existence for over 30 years and our purpose is to provide support, guidance, and encouragement to one another based on Christian principles. These principles are outlined in our Statement of Faith. Among the many things offered to LCHEA members are field trip opportunities for every age group, holiday celebrations, prom, clubs, yearbook, graduation and much, much more!

Please note, LCHEA is a homeschool support group only and it does not give you legal homeschooling status in the state of South Carolina. Please refer to the SC Homeschool Laws page to learn more of the three options available within our state.
Take some time to browse through our public page information to learn more about who we are and what is available for your family. If you feel that LCHEA may be a good fit for you, please consider joining us for the school year.

Dear Seniors and families of the Class of 2026, 

My name is Angela Hildebrandt, and I am honored to serve as the Senior Graduation Coordinator for the Class of 2026 with LCHEA.  I am excited to walk alongside you during this special and memorable time as we prepare to celebrate the achievements and milestones of this amazing senior class.  

Graduation is more than a ceremony.  It's a celebration of years of hard work, growth and unforgettable moments.  My role is to ensure that every detail of the senior experience, especially the graduation process, is organized, communicated clearly, and handled with love and care. From cap and gown orders to graduation rehearsal, I’ll be here every step of the way to support the families of LCHEA.  

Over the coming months, you will receive regular updates about key dates, requirements and exciting opportunities for seniors and parents.  We’ll also be holding 3 Senior Graduation meetings (September, January and March) to make sure everyone stays informed and prepared.  We also will have all communication via our LCHEA website and on the Senior Forum, so please make sure you are signed up to receive notifications or check often so you don’t miss important dates or information.  

Please feel free to reach out to me at any time with questions or concerns.  I want every senior to feel supported and confident as they move toward the finish line. 

Conratulations in advance, Class of 2026!  Let’s make this year unforgettable.
