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.

2012 Service Award
The International Dyslexia Association's (IDA) - Georgia Branch Service Award recognizes an individual who has exhibited dedicated service in pursuing the IDA - GA's mission within the state of Georgia. The individual should have demonstrated outstanding dedication to increasing public awareness of dyslexia.

2012 Leadership in Literacy Awards
This year we will be awarding two Leadership in Literacy Awards. One will be awarded by the GA Branch to an administrator in Georgia and the other will be awarded by IDA's Southern Branches to an administrator in the Southern Region.

The International Dyslexia Association's (IDA) Leadership in Literacy Award recognizes a school administrator who has shown leadership in developing literacy in his/her school or school system within the state of Georgia or in the Southern Region. The administrator should have demonstrated outstanding leadership through the development of effective reading and/or special education programs, the support of excellent teacher training and professional development that has led to significant gains in student reading achievement, and/or the engagement of parents in school/home cooperative ventures to support literacy.

The recipients of these awards will be honored at the IDA Southern Regional Conference at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta on February 2, 2013 for their dedicated service and outstanding efforts. The recipients will receive free registration for the conference.
