About tfasc
We partner with schools and school districts to recruit, prepare, and retain high-quality teachers, providing every student in South Carolina with an excellent education.
Working Toward Educational Excellence and Equity for All
Together with schools and school districts – as well as community partners, policymakers, and supporters – TFASC leverages our national resources from Teach For America and our local network to prepare educators to best meet the needs of South Carolina’s students and communities. We are working collectively to realize the day when every child has an equal opportunity to learn, lead, thrive, and co-create a future filled with possibility.
