A note to all enrolled families please go to http://aha-deb.blogspot.com/ for info from Deb
Please note On May 18, 2009, Governor Bob Riley signed into law Senate Bill 334, raising the compulsory school attendance age for all students in Alabama from 16 to 17 years old. Sponsored by Senator Arthur Orr (3rd District), the new law affects all students receiving home instruction through enrollment in a church school. These students must continue attending school until age 17, even after completing their school’s graduation requirements, unless the school adheres to the public school curriculum for completing high school.
Welcome to home school with Alabama Hope Academy.
If you are new to homeschooling and looking for information,
or a pro at home education and looking for a new cover, we are here
to help you and hopefully make your homeschool easier.
New to homeschool
- Have you been wondering maybe researching home education? Do you feel it
is time to start homeschooling, but you just don't know where to start or what to do?
- You are doing the first thing we suggest to new homeschool families.
Research, check out all the different cover (also known as church, umbrella) schools.
Look at their requirements, rules, and services. You want a cover school that fits your
homeschool. If you need alot of structure (by someone else) enroll with a cover school
that has alot of requirements and requires you to use their curriculum. If you want to
home school your way, then look at cover schools with only state requirements. like AHA.
Pro at homeschooling
- If you are looking for a new cover school. If you are ready to homeschool your
way, not your covers way. Then we are here just for you. We provide legal covering
