BLOUNTVILLE – Twenty years ago, Brent Bradley couldn’t convince Christian publishing companies to sell him teaching guides for his homeschooled children.

Now, such companies market and provide entire catalogs for families like his.

Because of homeschooling’s growth, opportunities and support for such families also have blossomed.

Many homeschoolers cite Bradley as a pioneer in this region’s homeschooling effort. He and his wife, Bunny, started homeschooling their children in 1983 and have helped countless others since then.
