Instructors
Ashley Ball
I am wife to Christian and mom and homeschool teacher to Charlie and Baxley. Our family has been homeschooling since 2020 when our oldest son, Charlie was four. Our family is passionate about learning, and we all enjoy studying a vast array of subjects. I've been blessed with the opportunity to quit my job and travel, study, and explore with my kids. Prior to homeschooling full-time I spent 15 years as an internal auditor for a bank. Personal finance and banking are my specialty, but also love to study the Bible, history, and science.
Whitney Brown
My name is Whitney Brown. I am married to Tanner and we have one biological son, Cannon, and a foster buddy, Cubby. I love to sing, hike, bike and bake. Teaching kiddos has been a passion of mine since I was a kid myself. I love getting to know each student. My prayer is that I can teach them something useful and put a smile on their faces.
Shannon Corley
Hi! I'm Ms. Shannon and I have been homeschooling since 2021. We currently have two students in our homeschool classroom, where all of our lessons keep Christ as a central focus. I stay busy as a novice homesteader, learning to take care of chickens, ducks and rabbits.
Emily Keeling
I am a Muhlenberg County born and raised native. I live in my childhood home that my father built. My husband Jonathan and I have 7 children and several grandchildren. If the 7, 3 are still at home and have been homeschooled since 2015. We are members at First Baptist Hopkinsville and love it. I have a heart for Christian Motherhood and desire to see Christian Mothers SHINE like Jesus! Homeschooling is the best way that I have learned in my 29 years of Mothering to disciple children. As a Christian Mother, I've made a lot of mistakes and corrections- but Praise God for His grace!!!

I became a mom in 2015 and began homeschooling shortly after that. I have one son that I homeschool and two other girls that come to my home for school. I also tutor. I have always loved sports and teaching, PE allows me to combine those two. We attend both Powers Chapel Church and Church Street General Baptist Churches in Bremen.
