"Heather (16, HBL 400 & 600) has always had help when she works on her Chemistry assignments from Sonlight," writes Lori S. of Newville, PA. "Explaining what she's doing to her younger siblings is a great way to reinforce what she has learned, and to boost the learning experiences of the younger kids. Sonlight has let our kids share learning experiences no matter their ages or grade levels." Pictured, Matthew (9, HBL B) gives Heather a helping hand with her experiment.

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!
