STATE LAW
On Education
&
Church Schools
Please read, familiarize, and interpret for yourself the laws of homeschooling in Alabama.
Think; do not guess.

For excellent information on homeschooling in Alabama, please look here:
Please remember that enrolling in a Church School such as Everest Academy is a perfectly legal schooling option under Alabama State Law. Once you have unenrolled from a public/private school and enrolled with a church school such as Everest Academy, you are no longer subject to their policies. Please be respectful to school officials but remember that you are only required to submit a Church School Enrollment Form to your local city or county Board of Education Superintendent and NOT to the school from which you have unenrolled.
If a truant or attendance officer comes to your door asking about your child's enrollment:
Always ask for identification. Make sure you are familiar with Alabama State Law regarding homeschooling (church schooling) in Alabama.
Inform them that you are legally enrolled with a church school and have filed your Church School Enrollment Form with the Board of Education.
If persistent, show them a copy of your CSEF. There is no law allowing them to ask for anything other than the CSEF. Demand all other requests be sent to you in writing with a copy to me.
If the BOE has lost your copy, offer to mail or fax a new copy to them.
“NHELD is an acronym for National Home Education Legal Defense, a national organization open to all who wish to join, that seeks to protect and defend the rights of families who wish to educate in freedom.”
Home School Legal Defense Association is a nonprofit advocacy organization established to defend and advance the constitutional right of parents to direct the education of their children and to protect family freedoms. Through annual memberships, HSLDA is tens of thousands of families united in service together, providing a strong voice when and where needed.
Several of you have asked about the HSLDA Member Discount. Please remember that HSLDA membership is not a requirement nor a recommendation of Everest Academy; however, the following information is for those families who would like to obtain membership at a group discount.
The HSLDA Group Discount Program was established to encourage and promote home schooling support groups by offering their members HSLDA services at a discount. Individual families who belong to an HSLDA discount group save 17% on the membership fee, paying $95 instead of $115. Everest Academy will qualify for this program if we have 10 families who are currently HSLDA members or who want to become HSLDA members.
Current HSLDA members - Please fill out and return to Everest Academy the Enrollment Form . Members do not need to send a check until renewal time. The 17% discount will appear on your next annual HSLDA renewal form.
Applying HSLDA members - Please fill out an HSLDA application and return to Everest Academy with a check for $95, payable to HSLDA.
“Founded in 1982 by constitutional attorney and author John W. Whitehead, The Rutherford Institute is a civil liberties organization that provides free legal services to people whose constitutional and human rights have been threatened or violated.”
“AHSA is an informal network of attorneys and legal experts in the United States supporting homeschooling and homeschoolers by providing legal information about homeschooling issues, empowering homeschoolers to have the legal tools they need to meet homeschooling challenges, and providing a network of attorneys for legal representation.”
“The National Home Education Network exists to encourage and facilitate the vital grassroots work of state and local homeschooling organizations and individuals by providing information, fostering networking and promoting public relations on a national level. Because we believe there is strength in a diverse network of homeschoolers, we support the freedom of all individual families to choose home education and to direct such education.”
About Everest Academy
Everest Academy believes that the parent has the best interests of their children at heart. We believe that the parent is the first and only teacher that a child needs. In keeping with this philosophy, we wish to be a very hands-off cover school and allow the parent to lead and guide their children in the direction and at the pace they feel is best suited to their children. We ask only for what the law requires while offering support along with quality resources to aid families in their efforts.
