What Alabama actually asks of a family teaching their own children. Written plainly, and honest where the answer is that nobody asks for anything.
United StatesFiling requiredWho is in charge

n/a
How often: continuous
Goes to: Kept by the church school; reported as the State Board requires
Shows enrollment and every absence of a half-day or more.
Filing on time is the easy half. The harder half is the year in between: showing what your child actually learned, in words the reviewer recognises, without turning your home into a school.
That is what this app is for. You say what your child did, in a sentence. It maps that to the real curriculum for Alabama and builds the record you can hand over the day someone asks. See how it works.
