Membership Documents

Members receive a membership letter and membership card so they have a record that they are registered with PACESC and compliant with SC law. The member letter can be used as proof when school officials, Social Services, or the Department of Motor Vehicles need proof that the children are "in school". The letter and card can be used to receive student discounts at events, museums, etc. Also receive teacher discounts and privileges at major chain bookstores, craft stores, etc.

Membership Support

PACESC members receive support via telephone, email, and our closed Facebook group. We are often available in the evening and weekends, especially via email and Facebook private messaging. We pride ourself on providing one-on-one guidance and support including curriculum counseling and high school planning.
