Curriculum
- With AHA you may use any curriculum, or method of instruction you want. If you type in homeschool curriculum in any search engine you will find thousands of providers.

On this site is a few listed under links page. AHA also has curriculum information on members site. But if you need help please feel free to just ask, we are happy to help. Need some information?

Common Problems
- While paying enrollment fee with AHA. On payment form. If you put your home address as where you live now and the credit/debit card has a different address then your payment will be rejected. Just make sure on payment page you put address card company has as your home address. But on your enrollment forms make sure you put where you live at now as home address. If you receive mail at even different address add that address as well on form.
- Once a family decides to homeschool. Seems the first thing they do is go online. When you find a website that says K-12, homeschool, diploma. That does not mean it is legal in Al. Families have enrolled with some online and found out later they were never legally enrolled in homeschool. You must have a cover, church, umbrella that is physically located in the state of Alabama. If they just enroll, or sell curriculum in Al they are legal. They must have home office in Alabama or you are not legal. Now if you really like their curriculum with AHA you may use it. Unless it is a website that is public school charter, in which case AHA does not want you to use it while enrolled with us. Why? Because you will be legally enrolled with a public school online. In Alabama this is not even legal at this time. Alabama has not passed any charter schools as of 12/2011. If you would like more information on this matter please just let us know.Email AHA
