The South Carolina Aquarium encourages all South Carolina homeschool groups to participate in the Aquarium's free, Standards-Based Structured School programs. Homeschool group applications received by the deadline will be included in our random drawing that will determine structured school group visitation throughout the school year. The Aquarium's required chaperone ratio is one adult per ten students. Adults accompanying groups in excess of this ratio will be required to pay the adult group rate admission.
Plan an education adventure through the exhibits at the Aquarium. A journey from the mountains to the sea, students can explore on their own or with our grade-specific scavenger hunts. Explore Exhibits
