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 six students. Adults accompanying groups in excess of this ratio will be required to pay the adult group rate admission.
We can accommodate groups of 12-35 students and encourage small groups to partner up and to try to pull together students of similar grade levels. School Programs
