Church School option: none specified (the church school sets its own academic calendar/days).
Alabama does not regulate homeschooling as such. Parents satisfy the compulsory-attendance law (ages 6-17) either by enrolling the child in a 'church school' (Sec. 16-28-1) - the most common path, which requires only a one-time enrollment notification to the local superintendent, no state-approved curriculum, no mandated subjects, no instructional-day minimum, and no testing - or by using a state-certified 'private tutor' (Sec. 16-28-5), which requires teacher certification, instruction in public-school subjects, at least 3 hours/day for 140 days/year, a register of work, and notification to the superintendent. Neither option requires any standardized testing or academic assessment of the student by the state.
Alabama has no standalone 'homeschool' statute; families homeschool legally under one of two options. (1) Church School (Code of Alabama 1975, Sec. 16-28-1, 16-28-7): the parent files a one-time enrollment notification with the local superintendent of education on a form provided by the local school district, signed by the parent and the church-school administrator, when the child is first enrolled (no annual filing; required only to withdraw from public school / satisfy compulsory-attendance recordkeeping). (2) Private Tutor (Code of Alabama 1975, Sec. 16-28-5 and 16-28-7): the tutor must notify the local superintendent. Compulsory attendance ages are 6 to 17 (Sec. 16-28-3).
Church School option: the church school maintains an attendance register for each enrolled child (Sec. 16-28-7). Private Tutor option: the tutor must keep a register of work showing daily the hours used for instruction and the presence or absence of the child (Sec. 16-28-5). No state-mandated testing or portfolio review for either option.
- Church School option: NO state-mandated subjects (the church school sets its own curriculum)
- Private Tutor option: the several branches of study required to be taught in the public schools (per Sec. 16-28-5)

Is homeschooling legal in Alabama?
Yes. Alabama does not regulate homeschooling as such.
Do I have to notify anyone to homeschool in Alabama?
Alabama has no standalone 'homeschool' statute; families homeschool legally under one of two options. (1) Church School (Code of Alabama 1975, Sec. 16-28-1, 16-28-7): the parent files a one-time enrollment notification with the local superintendent of education on a form provided by the local school district, signed by the parent and the church-school administrator, when the child is first enrolled (no annual filing; required only to withdraw from public school / satisfy compulsory-attendance recordkeeping). (2) Private Tutor (Code of Alabama 1975, Sec. 16-28-5 and 16-28-7): the tutor must notify the local superintendent. Compulsory attendance ages are 6 to 17 (Sec. 16-28-3).
Is standardized testing required for homeschoolers in Alabama?
No annual test is mandated for homeschoolers in Alabama. The state test (ACAP (Alabama Comprehensive Assessment Program); ACT with Writing administered in Grade 11) is not required for home-educated students.
What subjects are required for homeschooling in Alabama?
Alabama requires instruction in: Church School option: NO state-mandated subjects (the church school sets its own curriculum); Private Tutor option: the several branches of study required to be taught in the public schools (per Sec. 16-28-5).
Does Alabama have its own learning standards?
Math: 2019 Alabama Course of Study: Mathematics (Alabama Content Areas). ELA: 2021 Alabama Course of Study: English Language Arts. Science: 2023 Alabama Course of Study: Science (based on NRC's A Framework for K-12 Science Education; three-dimensional). Social studies: 2024 Alabama Course of Study: Social Studies.
