Everest Academy: Action Needed for SB101

Everest Academy is a ministry of Everest Family Church in Hayden. 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 church "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.

Action Needed for SB101

E L E R T U P D A T E

SB101, the Alabama Ahead Act, which terminates the adoption and implementation of the Common Core Standards, has passed the Senate Education Committee and is now in the Rules Committee. The next step in the battle for control of our children’s education is to contact each senator on the Rules Committee and ask them to vote favorably for SB101. Your homeschooling families can help make a difference, but we must act immediately. Delay in contacting theses senators may result in SB101 dying in the Rules Committee before it reaches the full Senate for voting.
