"The kids always look forward to Box Day, but as a Sonlight mom, I'm most excited for Catalog Day!" writes Michelle S of College Station, TX. "We originally decided to homeschool to strengthen the bonds between our kids. After 5 years, we are so grateful to have kids who enjoy learning together. We are so glad we chose Sonlight to foster that closeness!" Pictured, Michelle researches what next year with Sonlight will bring.

Our son has special needs – this was our determining factor in starting the Sonlight program. At the begining, I wasn't confident enough to stray from your program, so I stuck to it, frame by frame. As the year progressed, I began to feel more confident, understanding my boys' learning strengths and weaknesses. Your program gave me that! Last summer, as I began to order our curriculum, your web site made it so easy for me. I'm going to add more subjects. I wish I could convey how much Sonlight has blessed our family. Josiah (9) and Eli (8) are studying Core B+C.

"I love that all my kids can enjoy learning history together (HBL E), and that Sonlight provides age-appropriate workbooks for various topics, allowing the older ones to help the younger ones," writes Lam B who is serving in East Asia. "My son, Joshua (7), liked the activities in Explode the Code so much, he did four lessons in one sitting when I first gave him the book. My older two kids, Caden (11) and Karina (10), are excited about their Wordly Wise books." Here, the B children settle down from trampoline jumping to do some Explode the Code! The B family has been Sonlighting for three years.
