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.

STOP!!!
I beg of you to please read and understand the following before filling out the paperwork:

Printable Enrollment Packet:

Stop!!!  You must send ALL of the following forms to Everest Academy.  DO NOT take any of the following forms to the school you are withdrawing from or the Board of Education without an official signature from Everest Academy.

Required Items:  This means that your enrollment will NOT be processed if you do not include ALL FIVE of the required items!!!!  
  1. Enrollment Checklist (one per family)
  2. Family Information Form (one per family) - Paperwork will not be processed without this form
  3. Three Church School Enrollment Forms per child (not 1, not 2, but 3 of this form per child...Ex:  If you have 3 children, you will print out this form 9 times) - Do not put multiple children on a form. (Make sure to sign top and bottom portions of form)
  4. Payment in the form of a Cashier's Check or Money Order
  5. Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope (business-sized with 2 stamps "like what you would pay your bills with" - please DO NOT seal the return envelope.  If you use one of the big manila-sized envelopes, please adhere 4 stamps)
  6. Optional Items:  Request for School Records (Please fill one out for each school from which you are requesting records.  Do not put multiple schools on one form. These records are for your use only.  Everest Academy does not require them.  All records will be sent to you once Everest Academy receives them.)
Make all payments payable to Everest Academy.  If you are mailing in the Enrollment Packet, we accept Cashier's Check or Money Order.  We request that you DO NOT use Paypal if you are mailing in your packet.  If you prefer using a credit card/debit card or Paypal, please enroll using "Option One".  


Please send all paperwork "snail mail" to the following address:
Everest Academy
1035 Jenkins Rd
Hayden, AL 35079

Please note: It is not necessary to hand deliver your Enrollment Packet. This will not speed up the processing time. The Everest Academy office is open by appointment only.

After Filling Out Paperwork:

Everest Academy will process all paperwork and return:
  • Two (2) Church School Enrollment Forms per child.  You will:  
    • Keep one (1) copy per child for your own records.  Please put this in an easily accessible location.  
    • Mail one (1) copy per child to the appropriate city or county Board of Education Superintendent. The legal requirement for reporting you are homeschooling is fulfilled when you send in the Church School Enrollment Form to the local Board of Education Superintendent.  Look here for a list of addresses.
    • You can also optionally give a copy of this form to the school you are withdrawing from.  
  • Request for School Records Form (optional).  Forward this form (optional) to the appropriate school. 
  • An Everest Academy acceptance letter will be emailed to the email address you provide in your paperwork.    
You can expect your paperwork to be returned to you within about two weeks (usually sooner).  If you have not received all paperwork within two weeks, please contact Everest Academy. Don't worry, you are considered enrolled as of the date postmarked on the envelope.  If someone from the school contacts you before you receive your paperwork back in the mail, you are welcome to give them contact information for Everest Academy.  We will confirm that we are processing your paperwork. 


Need Your Paperwork Fast?
***Usually paperwork is done much quicker than two weeks, but here are some things you can do to expedite the process:***
  • Fill the paperwork out correctly.  If you do not follow instructions and send me a jumbled up mess, I WILL put it on the bottom of the pile.  If your paperwork is not complete, I will not process it at all.   
  • Do not send your paperwork certified or any other method that has to be signed for.  The post office will not deliver this to our address, and it has to be picked up from the post office.  It WILL slow down the processing time.  
Welcome to Everest Academy!
