Private School Choice
Alabama has two private school choice programs. Both programs help families afford to send their children to participating private schools.
Alabama Program List
Accountability Act of 2013 Parent-Taxpayer Refundable Tax Credits
Individual Tax Credit/Deduction
Tax-Credit Scholarship
Public School Choice
Alabama parents cannot transfer among public schools within their district (intradistrict) or outside their district (interdistrict). Magnet schools and online academies are allowed in Alabama, however.
Charter Schools
Alabama does allow charter schools. Parents who choose charter schools do so the same way many parents choose private schools—only charters are public and receive tax dollars.
Homeschool
Parents have to follow certain laws in Alabama when homeschooling their children.
