Discounts

Sonlight wants to eliminate all the pressures you may feel to "ORDER NOW TO RECEIVE A LIMITED DISCOUNT." Consequently, we do not take orders or offer discounts at curriculum fairs. We believe that to ensure you make the best decision for your family's homeschooling adventure, whatever "special discounts" we have, we will offer year round to ALL customers. We want you to have time to pour over our materials and be confident in your decision to order Sonlight, knowing that you will receive all the benefits we offer at the time you choose to order.

Sonlight tries to be sensitive to everyone's financial situation. To make Sonlight Curriculum affordable on a budget, we offer the following suggestions:

1. Buy only the books needed for the current trimester. You will find the numbers 1, 2 or 3 beside each title in our catalog. This number represents the trimester in which the book is used. Just prior to finishing the current trimester you may purchase the books required for the next trimester and so on.

2. Buy the Instructor's Guides. Determine how many of the required books you can borrow from your local library and buy the rest. Please bear in mind that if you do not purchase a full core, your materials will not be eligible for our 18 week Love to Learn/Love to Teach Guarantee. They will fall under our six month return policy instead. Please refer to our Return Policy if you have any questions.

3. Take advantage of our time payment options. This option will allow you to pay for your curriculum in monthly installments instead of in one lump sum. Please feel free to read more about our time payment option online.

4. Go to the "Buy/Sell Curriculum" forum on our forums page. You may be able to buy the books you need as "used" from another homeschooler(s) no longer using that particular curriculum. Please bear in mind that posting on this forum requires a paid subscription.

5. Set aside a bit monthly and buy a Gift Certificate online. There is no shipping charge for the Certificates and one can then purchase a curriculum in a rather painless manner. Of course, this does take longer than other options but it is worth thinking about over time.
