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.

Emily has accomplished many things in her short life, but one thing she is most proud of is that all of this has been accomplished as a "homeschooler." The night she won the title of "Distinguished Young Woman," one of the first things she said was that she couldn't wait to compete as a homeschooler at the Alabama program and be a representative of how great homeschooling can be. Emily’s after graduation plans include a Bachelor's in Political Science and Communication. College choice depends on scholarship opportunities.
