IMPORTANT! When sending in enrollment or re-enrollment fees, please
make all
checks and money orders out to "CHURCH OF THE SPIRAL TREE."
Sacred Grove Academy was established by the Church of the
Spiral Tree, a legally incorporated tax-exempt Ecumenical Pagan Church (Section 501(a)
organization under 501(c)(3)), in order to serve Pagan families in Alabama who want to home
school their children
but do not wish to do so under the auspices of a Christian or secular cover school. Sacred Grove
serves all of Alabama, and is based in Phenix City, AL.
Sacred Grove accepted its first student in September of 1999, and now has an enrollment of 115
or more students throughout Alabama! Sacred Grove is being administered solely by the
Director, Patricia Greer-Middleton, who is not an educator at all, but rather an organizer and
administrator. Sacred Grove does have educators as resources. The ability to offer field trips,
tutoring programs, driver's education, etc. is dependent on participation of the parents and the
students with the planning through Mrs.
Middleton.
To homeschool your children in Alabama, you must either be a certified teacher, or you must
enroll under under a cover school, also called a church school. There are several in Alabama
(Cover Schools),
but many of them are Christian in nature and requirements, and none that I found are specifically
Pagan.
Sacred Grove Academy does not require a statement of faith or require families to be Pagan to
enroll.
