We always encourage homeschoolers to try Sonlight and see what a refreshing change happens within your family. We are often asked how we got our kids to get along and love each other so well. Many won't understand unless they have taken the Sonlight path of homeschooling. Sonlight has developed a tight bond between siblings. They often compare what they study and read in Sonlight's curriculum, which sparks debates or excited chatter over suspenseful stories. We have many memories over the years of listening to books curled up on our cushy sofa. Here, Dad helps Paris (15), Tristan (14) and Nakita (12) collect water samples for a Biology experiment. They're studying Cores F and 100 in their family's eleventh year of Sonlight.

I am thrilled that Sonlight has so many Biblical teaching tools available. Incorporating the Bible into our everyday routine was a must. I feel so blessed to have quality time with my children. Even our 20-month-old, Sophia, loves to listen to the Read-Alouds. Homeschooling with Sonlight has been a wonderful experience! In their first year of Sonlight, Chance (8) and Hunter (6) share Core C and Science C. Here, they soak up real-world learning as they examine caterpillars making cocoons. 

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!
