West River Christian Homeschoolers (WRCH)
WRCH is a South Dakota Interdenominational Christian homeschool support group that serves Rapid City and the surrounding area. Our goals are to provide homeschool families with information, encouragement, and Christian relationships. WRCH is for those seeking to communicate and build support networks with other families who share like values. Involvement within the homeschool community is encouraged -- whether by sharing news, politics, or homeschool-related issues that may be helpful and pertinent to other families. WRCH serves to support Christian rights to speak freely without concern of offending those who do not share their Christian beliefs; however, because WRCH does not represent a particular Christian denomination, we encourage postings that respect those differences.


How to Get School Credit in South Dakota:

If you want to get school credit for completing South Dakota homeschool courses, you have to hire a service to keep records of all school courses that your children complete at home. Since requirements vary from state to state, we recommend using a service located within South Dakota.  Learning Things can provide you with the materials which can be used to qualify for credit in any state. However, Learning Things does not verify that your student has completed the materials. For that, you would need to hire a record keeping service. These services are authorized by the state to keep records of your activities and award your children with credits. To find a service in your area, we recommend contacting any of the sources listed above.
