We love Sonlight because it teaches our children to think critically about what they are learning. It challenges them to carefully consider the worldview that the media and many of their friends hold. They are learning that the biblical worldview is supported by science (among other subjects) and they are learning how to defend their faith. Sonlight also breaks us free from the 'school at home' mindset by allowing a more relaxed learning environment and encouraging discussion rather than completing lots of worksheets. Thanks Sonlight!

I appreciate Sonlight's emphasis on spending time in daily Bible reading and scripture memory with my children. Cindy loves the natural opportunities to build family memories such as this one, where 7-year-old Quinlan shares a Bible story with his baby sister.

"Story of our Sonlight life: always wanting more," writes Kevin S of Chesapeake, VA.  "By the end of the first week [of P4/5], we were ahead of schedule. I finally had to tell Kayleigh 'no more.' We did Core F for more than two years. You'd think that we'd be tired of it, but we were sad to see it end. The books were so good I'm surprised we were able to stretch it out, with all of the sneaky reading ahead that goes on around here!" Here, Mackenzie (11, Core F), who's been studying with Sonlight for eight years, is caught on camera, peeking at the next day's lesson. Enthusiastic sister Kayleigh (4) is a new Sonlight student.
