Our Homeschool Curriculum Partnerships in Gallatin, TN

When you choose a homeschool academy, you're really choosing the curriculum behind it — and the people who stand behind that curriculum. At GMA Educational Academy, our homeschool partnerships in Gallatin, TN are what let us give families an accredited, transcript-backed K-12 education without the paperwork headache of going it alone. Instead of handing you a login and wishing you luck, we pair proven curriculum providers with dedicated on-site teachers, so your child gets real structure, real support, and official records that hold up for transfers and college.

Here's an honest look at exactly who we partner with, what each option costs, and how it all fits together inside our 6,000 sq ft campus.

How Our Homeschool Partnerships Work

GMA Academy follows Tennessee's umbrella school model through our curriculum partners. In plain terms: we work with established, accredited curriculum providers who supply the coursework and issue official transcripts, while our teachers deliver and support that curriculum in person. You get the credibility and record-keeping of a recognized program, and your child gets a full school day — Monday through Friday, 10 AM to 5 PM — instead of a screen at the kitchen table.

That structure is the whole point of our homeschool program. Rather than leaving parents to assemble compliance on their own, we handle the curriculum relationship and the documentation. If you want the full breakdown of the state's rules and how umbrella schools simplify them, our guide to Tennessee homeschool laws walks through the notice of intent, testing, and record-keeping requirements in plain English.

Alijah Academy: Our Core K-12 Curriculum

Our core curriculum partner is Alijah Academy, a general curriculum providing comprehensive K-12 coursework. Students work through structured online lessons, but they never do it alone — our teachers and tutors are on-site to guide every subject, keep students accountable, and step in the moment something isn't clicking. It's the difference between "here's your coursework" and "here's your coursework, and here's a teacher beside you."

Because Alijah Academy is an accredited provider, it issues official transcripts and report cards. Those documents are what make the program portable: they're accepted for school transfers — public, private, or another homeschool program — and for college readiness down the road. Pricing is straightforward and separate from weekly tuition: $100 for the first child plus $25 for each additional child. For families with more than one student at home, that sibling structure keeps the curriculum affordable.

A Christian-Based Curriculum Option for Families Who Want It

Not every family wants the same academic framework, so alongside Alijah Academy we offer a Christian-based curriculum option. It integrates biblical principles across all subjects, giving families who want a faith-centered education a values-driven path through the same full-day, teacher-supported school experience. The Christian curriculum option runs $45 per month per child.

Both options sit side by side, and choosing between them is part of your enrollment conversation. We support families who want faith-integrated learning and families who prefer a secular general curriculum equally — the teacher support, the physical education, and the campus experience are the same either way. What changes is the academic content, and that's your call to make.

More Than a Curriculum Login: Teachers, Transcripts, and PE

A partnership is only as good as what surrounds it, and this is where GMA is genuinely more than a co-op. Whichever curriculum you choose, your child learns inside a staffed academy with dedicated teachers and tutors for all subjects — not online learning left on autopilot. Academics come first: report cards are reviewed for advancement, and GPA expectations apply as students progress (2.0 at lower levels, 3.0 at intermediate, and 3.5 at higher levels).

The curriculum partners handle the official records, and we handle the whole child. Every homeschool student receives structured physical education through our martial arts program — no separate gym membership or PE class to arrange, and it fulfills Tennessee's homeschool PE requirement while building coordination, discipline, and confidence. Families who want to split time between campus and home can look at our hybrid homeschool option, and families of students with additional needs get real attention too: our Director of Child Development holds a B.S. in Child Development and brings over 30 years of experience supporting special-needs learners. You can meet the team and see our credentials on the about page.

Put together, that's what our homeschool partnerships deliver here in Gallatin, TN: accredited curriculum you can trust, transcripts that travel, on-site teachers who know your child, and a full day that develops them academically, physically, and socially.
