Tuition-Free Christian Homeschool for Alabama Families

Northgate Academy is an approved Education Service Provider (ESP) under Alabama’s CHOOSE Act (Creating Hope and Opportunity for Our Students’ Education). This state-administered program offers Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) in the form of refundable tax credits. Qualified families can use ESA funds to cover tuition and other approved expenses at participating schools—including fully accredited online Christian homeschool alternatives like Northgate Academy. We provide the curriculum, structure, and support so parents don’t have to become the teacher.

*We’ll help you understand how ESA funding works—eligibility is determined by the state.

Most students who qualify for state-funded tuition are automatically enrolled in our Platinum Tier Tuition Package, which provides the highest level of support—at no cost to families.

Platinum enrollment gives students access to our complete selection of high school courses and includes eligibility for Dual Enrollment opportunities through our growing network of university partners (details coming soon). This allows motivated students to earn college credit while completing their high school diploma.

Students also gain entry to our top-level ElevatED Launch program, designed to support personal growth with guided enrichment in resilience, goal setting, mindset development, and future planning.

From flexible pacing to comprehensive enrichment, the Platinum Tier ensures every student receives a structured, faith-based, and fully accredited online high school experience.
