My daughter has an understanding of history and geography that goes beyond that of most adults. She loves to read and has a vocabulary much larger than one would expect for her age. A large part of this is because of the great Sonlight books. We love using Sonlight because I am confident that all the planning is done for me. I don't have to scramble to make sure I am covering each time period adequately. Krystal (12) has used Sonlight since first grade. Here, she enjoys a Science G experiment where she identifies powders by testing their reaction to different substances.

"Ryan (15) was not actually supposed to do Sonlight 200 yet. However, he got into the kit, pulled out a book, and started reading. Haven't seen him do that with a textbook yet!" writes Anthony C of College Station, TX. "Whether for History or Literature, Sonlight always seemed to be our son's favorite time of any day or trip. He was overjoyed when he learned he would be doing all Sonlight for the rest of his high school education." Here, Ryan poses on a family vacation with two treasures in his hand: Treasure Island (the Level 200 book he snuck out of the house) and his tablet. He just finished Sonlight 100 and will start on 200 soon.

"I love homeschooling because my daughter Sydney is free to learn at her pace, alongside her three siblings, with those things (chickens) that make her feel at peace," writes Ruthe F of Lutz, FL. "I love Sonlight because of the structure and peace of mind it provides the teacher." The F family has homeschooled for the past 10 years, all of them with Sonlight. In this photo, Sydney (16, Sonlight 200) reads The Hawk and the Dove from Classic Literature 230 with her favorite pet and constant companion, Mango.
