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.

Testing Requirements


Virtually all colleges and universities require students to take either the ACT or the SAT I Reasoning Test; however, specific testing requirements vary from college to college.  It is important that you are aware of the testing requirements for all the schools that you are considering.  Contact each college or visit their web sites to be sure that you know what is required and when.

Many colleges require students to have all scores sent directly from the testing agency, and you must request that your scores be sent to the colleges of your choice. 


When  Should I Take  the ACT and /or SAT?
Juniors should take the ACT or SAT I in the spring between February and June.  Make plans to retake the one on which you do better during the Fall of your senior year.  Most colleges will take the highest score.



You can take a pre-ACT as early as the 8th grade.  See information below.  
How Do I Register?
The code for homeschooled students taking the college ACT 969-999 or
SAT tests is 970-000. The PSAT code is 990-199. The test results will be
mailed directly to the parent.
