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.

Shoals Area: Jae White

Jennifer "Jae" White
Shoals Area

My name is Jennifer (Jae). I live in the Shoals area with my husband, Jerry, and our 8 year old daughter, Mamie. We have been with Everest Academy since my daughter started kindergarten in 2008. We feel blessed to be able to homeschool our daughter and expose her to a broad spectrum of activities and opportunities. I try to plan an activity / field trip each week. These are almost always on Fun Fridays. We have park days, crafts days, parties…activities close to home and really inexpensive. We have trips to neighboring cities like Huntsville and Decatur for things like the Space Center, Cook's Museum and ice skating. We even have day long trips to neighboring states for fun visits to places like the Chattanooga Aquarium, Memphis Zoo, and Nashville Science Center.


I feel that our children should have many opportunities for learning in fun and exciting environments. Therefore, we try to offer a wide range of activities each year. If you don't see activities in our area (or beyond!) that interest your family, let me know. I will work with you to get something planned that your child enjoys or help you find activities that would help them love to learn.


We have made some of our best friends through these activities and through the homeschooling community. We look forward to another great year of fun, learning and friendship.
