All rights reserved by Everest Academy
Everest Academy is sponsored by Everest Family Ministry in the Birmingham Metro Area. We offer freedom along with quality resources, information, activities and support to those homeschooling in Alabama. We believe 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.

Withdrawal

In the event that you choose to withdraw from Everest Academy, please be aware of the following information:

Withdrawal
  • Can my child return to a school setting after homeschooling? Yes. The new school will probably require a copy of a transcript for the work completed at Everest Academy. This can be obtained by filling out and submitting a Transcript Request Form (for students grades K - 8) or High School Transcript Request Form (for students grade 9 - 12).  Plan on it taking up to two weeks to receive your transcripts back.  If it during a busy time of the year (beginning or end of traditional school year), it could take longer. You can pay a "rush fee" to have your transcript returned to you in less than two weeks.  
  • Will the new school test my child for grade placement? Not normally, but it is up to the new school. 
  • It is up to each parent to research requirements and regulations of other schools including public schools, private schools, church schools, and colleges when considering enrollment in these institutions. 
  • Everest Academy does not hold any past school records.  If the school before Everest sent in any records, they have already been forwarded to you.  
  • If a child transfers from Everest Academy before graduation, official transcripts will be made and sent to the parent along with all previous records. Fees are applicable and completion of Transcript Request Form (for students grades K - 8) or High School Transcript Request Form (for students grade 9 - 12) is required. 
  • A student must be enrolled with Everest Academy and complete a full six weeks of work and parents must turn in the applicable Transcript Request Form (for students grades K - 8) or High School Transcript Request Form (for students grade 9 - 12) BEFORE an official transcript will be made. If the student has less than this amount of time with Everest Academy or does not turn in the required reports, we will send a letter stating no work can be verified. 

  1. All fees must be paid before a transcript is sent to the parent. 
  2. A Transcript Request Form should only be made out for the time spent at Everest Academy. Everest Academy WILL NOT generate a transcript for any credits obtained outside of Everest Academy. For instance, if 11th and 12th grades are completed at Everest Academy, we will not make the transcript out to include 9th and 10th grades as well.
