The Teacher's Guides and the well-chosen classical books are the key to Sonlight's success. I also love how they recommended other resources, like Explode the Code and Handwriting Without Tears, which work hand-in-hand with the curriculum. With Sonlight, I'm able to work with my kids on a daily basis on a continuum of excellent learning. I see my children's world expanding and it makes me excited to be their teacher. For the first time, I feel confident and comfortable with my decision to home educate. My kids finally enjoy homeschooling and I absolutely love teaching. In their third Sonlight year, John-Paul and Emelie (9 and 8, Core B+C) take their Math outdoors.

Each year I am proud to adventure through the most incredible literary selections with our children. Using Sonlight is truly an experience I wish I had had, but am so blessed to give our children! I have read some titles that were hard to swallow – deep content, thoughtful multicultural exposure – and have tasted and seen the presence of the Lord in all areas of our education at home. Here, 5-year-old Joseph shows off a real letter he wrote thanks to his Handwriting Without Tears program and a writing prompt from Core A. Carron says Joseph felt very grown up when he mailed his letter; he was so pleased with his ability to communicate.

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.
