I have a bright child and I don't want them to be bored. Where do I start?


Our programs provide ready-made academic challenges for advanced students, yet are also used successfully by average students and even those with learning disabilities.

Sonlight® early elementary programs follow a modest pace. But if your child is chomping at the bit to set a faster pace, Sonlight® will give all the challenge your child requires. Simply substitute one of the Advanced Readers programs for the Regular Readers programs.

By the time you hit Core 3, Sonlight's pace has quickened noticeably, and in Core 4 and beyond we provide more than enough materials and outside assignments to challenge even the brightest students. Thus, for example, the content of the 7th Year program is easy enough for a 5th grader to understand, but the unmodified workload is worthy of a high school-level course in American History.

The bottom line: if your son or daughter is intellectually gifted, you needn't try to piece together a more challenging program.

We encourage you to read How to Choose the Right Program for Your Family.
