Asbury Academy is an inclusive homeschooling church school for
parents in the Greater Birmingham area.
We are a ministry of East Lake United Methodist Church.
Founded in 1991, as the "East Lake United Methodist Academy (ELUMCA), Asbury Academy is
dedicated to
providing information, resources,
support, experience, fellowship and fun to homeschooling families
in Alabama.
Asbury Academy was
formed to enable parents to
take responsibility for their children's academic, emotional and moral
growth
through teaching at home. We believe in the family and in its ability
as an
institution to instruct children in the most positive and loving
environment
possible.
Our purpose is to help you, as homeschooling parents, by supporting you
in this endeavor. We strive to help you by offering informative
faculty
meetings, as well as social and educational events for the children. We
maintain a permanent record for each child enrolled as well.
Asbury Academy was formed to allow people
the
opportunity to instruct their own children in the religious belief
system that
is personal to their own family. We therefore require no statement of
faith, but
rather trust that those families who take the responsibility of
educating their
own children will seek to educate those children in their religious
faith as
well.
We strive for educational excellence of the child and of the parents.
We
are never too old to learn. That is one beauty of homeschooling your
child;
you will grow as a teacher as your child is growing. We hope, as a
member of
our faculty and as a parent, that you will continue to be open to new
ways of
growing and
learning.
If you are new to homeschooling or are looking for a new
homeschooling group, please contact our director, Beth O'Donnell, for
information.
