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.

Teen Ambassador: Zac Carden




Zac Carden

My name is Zac Carden, and I am 16 years old and a junior in High School. I have been homeschooled since I was in seventh grade. I live in Northport, Alabama. Some of my hobbies include: snow skiing, playing trumpet, doing film photography, playing video games, and playing table tennis. I have lived in Alabama; Columbus, Mississippi; Corpus Christi, Texas; and Las Vegas, Nevada. I love to travel and some of my favorite places to go are: Maggie Valley, North Carolina; Sedona, Arizona; Las Vegas, Nevada; and San Antonio, Texas. I like to listen to music and have really eclectic taste, but my favorite band is Reel Big Fish. I have been a vegetarian my whole life and my favorite type of food is Indian food. I am currently training for the Mercedes Marathon in February, which I am doing with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training. This is my first year to be old enough to do an official Team in Training marathon but I have already done two half marathons (the St. Jude's Half Marathon and the Nashville Country Music Half Marathon). This year I am also doing the Early College Program at the University of Alabama.
