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.

Jan. 31, 2026 (Deadline to register Jan. 15, 2026), Bham: Alabama Homeschool Spelling Bee (grades 8 and under)

Homeschool Alabama is sponsoring the Alabama Homeschool Spelling Bee again this year.

Saturday January 31, 2026 at 1 pm
Faulkner University Birmingham Campus
4524 Southlake Pkwy
Birmingham, AL 35244

Weather date (in case we have to cancel Jan 31) will be Saturday February 7, 2026, 1 pm, at Faulkner University Birmingham campus.

The Scripps organization made a few changes this year; the main one that affects us is that there is no longer an online testing option. That is what we have used for a preliminary bee. So there will be no preliminary bee this year. All students who register will participate in the in-person bee in Birmingham. Please be aware that the target audience for the spelling bee is grades 4-8; there is no minimum grade for participation in the program. All participating students should be in grade 8 or below.

Registration is $25 per family, and the link to registration is below:

We will be using a 450-word list this year for our bee. You will receive this word list after you register. We will close registration on January 15, 2026.

Blessings,
Debbie Landry
