It is with great joy that we introduce Zion Christian Academy. Our desire is to partner with families to cultivate students who love the Lord, think biblically, and serve faithfully in their homes, churches, and communities.

Under Alabama's church school statute (Ala. Code § 16-28-1), families may educate their children at home under the covering of an established church school. That covering is exactly what Zion Christian Academy provides — a legally recognized enrollment, official records, and the pastoral care of a local Baptist church.
You choose your curriculum, your pace, and your rhythm. We provide the documentation, records, and community — so your family can focus on the joy of teaching.
Everything is done online. The moment your enrollment is confirmed, your official documents are ready — including the form you'll send to your county Board of Education.
Fill in parent & student details, choose your payment option, and sign the church school agreement. Takes about 2–3 minutes.
Pay by cash or check when you enroll — or contact us to arrange a payment plan for the end of the school year.
Once payment is confirmed, you'll receive your enrollment form, welcome letter, and BOE instructions by email and in your portal.
One flat rate per child for the entire school year. No hidden fees. No card processing — pay by cash or check.
A partner ministry is assisting with tuition costs for this first school year.
Every student is enrolled under a church committed to the sufficiency and authority of Scripture.
We come alongside — never over — the parent. You lead your child's education; we cover it.
Zion Christian Academy is a ministry of Alta Independent Baptist Church, Berry, Alabama.
We'd be honored to walk with your family through this decision. Reach out any time — evenings and weekends are welcome.
"We're not building a school. We're building a covering — so that parents can teach their children without carrying the weight of paperwork alone."
