Homeward Education Association, Sumter | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Homeward Education Association has been my association for 7 years now. I couldn’t ask for a more wonderful support group through my homeschooling journey. Rachel is a true professional and knows the laws. Both of my kids play sports at the local high school and middle school, and I have never been questioned about anything that I have requested from Rachel, to send to the schools. I am thankful that I can pick up the phone and call her with any question that I may have. Yes, emails may take a few days, or even a week. I understand, because I don’t constantly look at my emails 24 hours a day nor 7 days a week. She does have a family ( just like me). They have office hours. Give them a call. Are we too far above a telephone call in today’s technological world? This is August people. It’s the beginning of a new school year for most. I am sure Rachel isn’t sitting on the couch at home watching TV. Obviously, it is super easy to write a negative review on google in the heat of the moment. I feel like, I , someone who has been with Homeward for a long time would actually have credibility to review this association. Rachel Ward and her office are very passionate about the homeschooling community. With the many personal family trials that Rachel has been through in the last couple of years, she have been very diligent at supporting her home school families. I applaud her and her staff, and appreciate all they do for my family!

And on a side note: If you think her emails are slow, try emailing verizon, the power company, water company, cable, insurance company, etc.

When we first moved here to South Carolina, Rachel Ward of Homeward Education Association (HEA) helped us greatly in navigating through the process of establishing our home school properly, efficiently, and legally.

HEA was instrumental in connecting us to local support groups, organizations, and programs available for home schooling families to optimize their educational process and experience.

Rachel Ward gave us invaluable advice, encouragement, and guidance through the nine years that we were home schooling here in South Carolina. She was not just a person who we did business with but she was a dear friend who provided us with support, mentoring, wise counseling, and practical help. She was there for us when my family was going through a tough time with health issues, finances, and struggles with conflict. She always accommodated our needs, questions, and concerns. She directly challenged and encouraged my children to pursue their goals.

Homeward Education Association has been a blessing for us in providing valuable information that maximized the educational opportunities, scholarship availability, and organizational/community involvement for my children. Rachel Ward through HEA has played a vital role in making my children as successful as they are.
