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.

*Watch Holiday Cheer Videos - Watch videos created by students to celebrate Santa. And on December 24th visit NORAD's site to see the video feed from Santa Cams positioned around the world.
*Track Santa with Your Mobile Phone - On December 24th use "Google Maps for Mobile" to track Santa's location worldwide.
