I love the simply laid out lesson plans, the excellent and diverse choices of literature, and the flexibility Sonlight offers our family. Our oldest thoroughly enjoyed the P4/5 Core last year. This year it couldn't have worked out more perfectly that we were learning about ancient Greece and how the Olympics started, just as the 2012 games were beginning. I look forward to re-reading the wonderful stories with our other children when it's time to begin their schooling. We anticipate a rich home education with Sonlight for years to come! Now in their second Sonlight year, Mark and Beth share a lighthearted llama read with Reese (5), who is studying Core A, Lincoln (3) and Maddox (11 months).
After a stressful year, I knew I needed a curriculum I could count on – one that would literally tell me what to do. I sure found it with Sonlight! I tried the eclectic route the year before and it was mayhem. With Sonlight, each day tells me what and how much to do, and it's simple to follow. The incredible books brought the love of learning to all of us and my children thrived. Sonlight made me a confident homeschooler. On their first Box Day, Liliana 7 and Talia 4 (Core B) are engrossed in books and delighted to learn they'll be reading every one!
What a blessing my Instructor's Guide is. I have complete confidence that I'm teaching what needs to be taught throughout the year. When people have asked me about homeschooling and how I know my children are learning what they need to, I've whipped out my IG and they've been blown away. Most comment that with a tool like that, they'd be able to homeschool too! Thanks to the confidence I get using an established program like Sonlight, my boys are thriving and my husband and I couldn't be happier! In their first year of homeschooling using the 4th Grade Full-Grade program, Brooks (2), Jase (7), and Carter (9) climb a tree with Dad to read a short story.

Before we made our decision to use Sonlight, I felt as if I'd never move beyond an endless succession of 'Teacher Planning Days. Things changed when we started the Core P4/5 curriculum – I could stop planning and start doing! Now I'm checking off boxes instead of constantly creating them. We've found it easy to use Sonlight to enrich our family activities. We read, and then we 'do' (and sometimes we even read while we 'do')! Hiking in the Appalachians, Julia, Lincoln (4), baby brother Zane and cousin Ben (9) stopped to read Caterpillars and Butterflies … and were surprised by a real tiger swallowtail! In his first Sonlight year, Lincoln is studying Core P4/5 and Science A.
My girls actually learned more in the first month [of Sonlight] than they had the whole year before! Sonlight was recommended by a homeschooling mom who had four sons. I looked it over, and because of the lesson planning already being done for you, I thought it was the answer for having a newborn in our house. I thought we'd just 'try it out' for one year to see how it went. Well, when the books came, we fell in love! The W family has now used Sonlight for four years. Isabella (11) and Amarissa (9) are using Core E as siblings (not pictured) Arlin (4) and Ellianna (2) expore the Preschool Multi-Subject Package.
Sonlight is Christ-centered, well-organized, easy to teach, trustworthy, affordable, and most of all, fun! The teacher's guide is easy to follow, requiring no preparation or planning on my part. The books and materials are beautiful and Christ-centered, highlighting the unique people and creation of the world. And most importantly, my children love their school time: reading, creating, singing, and especially science project times with Daddy. I had no idea how much children learn through listening to books read aloud. It's truly amazing. Here, 3-year-old Keira confidently announces "and this is a chrysalis" to her 5-year-old sister, Naomi. Naomi is studying Core A in her second year of Sonlight as Keira listens in.
