South Carolina ESTF online curriculum
Gallop is an approved Education Service Provider in South Carolina's Education Scholarship Trust Fund (ESTF). South Carolina families can pay for it from their student's ClassWallet wallet, at the same price as paying by card.
How paying with your ESTF works
- Start with the 7-day free trial on the web. No card needed.
- Choose "Pay with South Carolina ESTF" when you subscribe. Your child keeps going without a break.
- We send you a monthly invoice for each child. It names the student and the parent, the service dates, the purpose of the payment and the total due.
- In ClassWallet, start a Direct Pay request from your student's wallet to "Gallop Learning Academy", upload the invoice, and request exactly the total due.
Same price as paying by card: $34 a month for one child. With two to four children, the $54 Family price is shared across them, one invoice per child ($27 each for two). South Carolina pays approved providers directly, so you never pay first and wait to be paid back.
About the ESTF
For the 2026-27 school year the award is $7,634 per student, paid into the student's ClassWallet wallet in four quarterly amounts. It is for students in kindergarten through 12th grade whose household income is up to 500% of the federal poverty guidelines. Homeschool families can use it, unless they homeschool through an Option 1, 2 or 3 homeschool association. The South Carolina Department of Education keeps the list of approved providers and decides who qualifies.
What your child gets
Gallop is K-12 online curriculum in math, English, science, social studies and Spanish.
- A placement check finds your child's real level in each subject, below or above their grade.
- Today's Plan lays out a short session for each child, one lesson at a time, in order.
- Every skill opens with a short guided lesson, read aloud by a natural voice, so early and struggling readers can work on their own.
- A wrong answer gets explained, specific to the mistake, with a second try. If a skill stays stuck, a Skill Drill re-teaches it.
- You get a weekly report and a dashboard with notes on each child.
Beside your curriculum, or as the daily structure
Keep the curriculum you love and use Gallop for the subject that's hardest to teach at the kitchen table, or let it set the day across all five subjects.
