Alabama has an incredibly regressive policy on homeschooling: Either you must have a valid Alabama teacher's certificate, or you must enroll in a church-sponsored "cover school". Fortunately, there appear to be a wide variety of these, including a Quaker one that should be palatable to those with a distaste for doctrinaire evangelicals. Despite my general 'no vendor' policy, I used to maintain a list of Alabama cover schools. It was a small list, at one point, and I felt that this was a special case. The list has grown, however, and so I'd rather simply point you to HEART's seemingly comprehensive and rather detailed list of Alabama cover schools.
