Welcome to the official web site of Outlook Academy!
Outlook Academy is an Alabama church school as defined in Alabama legal code 16-28-1. By enrolling their children, homeschooling parents are complying with the compulsory school attendance law for children ages 7 - 16. We are based in Millbrook, Alabama, as a homeschool ministry of Cain's Chapel United Methodist Church in Holtville/Slapout, but our membership includes families statewide.
Outlook Academy is a hands-off church school. Because we believe that parents are best suited to direct the education of their children, Outlook Academy asks only for what the law requires while also offering support for your personal choices. We respect your privacy as well as your right to homeschool your children unencumbered by restrictions.
We accept mid-year enrollments. Please click on Enrollment Procedures on the main menu at left for instructions.
Please read the FAQs before contacting the administrators with your questions. This will help limit interruptions to their homeschooling schedule.

| Despite what you may have heard, homeschooling is still legal in California as in all U.S. states! Regarding the California case that recently caused an uproar, on March 25, the California Court of Appeal granted a motion for rehearing in the "In re Rachel L." case -- the controversial decision which purported to ban all homeschooling in California unless the parents held a teaching license. According to Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), the rehearing has the automatic effect of making the original decision null and void; it is also not binding to the parties in the case. |

| Steve and Stephanie Whyte of Elmore have a passion for helping hurting children. God first laid the call on their hearts over 12 years ago. They always wanted to have a ranch for hurting kids, but it was not until after the adoption of their first two boys, out of the foster care system, that God revealed that these hurting children were right here in America. In August 2007, they answered God's call by starting A Place Called Home as a non-profit charity to help adopted and foster children in Alabama. |
