Thank you, Sonlight, for the great kids they are today. The camaraderie and love evident among our kids represent the values of loving learning, having fun, valuing others and Christian principles that Sonlight inspires. For our 25th anniversary, they planned a special meal and program, and even composed an ode to our marriage. I'm sure it was a result of their Sonlight upbringing! Coming back from grad school in Baltimore, school and an internship in San Diego, and on vacation from freshman year of college in Minnesota, they blessed our hearts. In their fourteenth year of Sonlight, Dina (16) is using British Literature as Micah (13) and Isaiah (12) share Core 200. Sarah, Hannah and Leah have graduated from Sonlight and are now in college or graduate school. 

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.

I discovered Sonlight 16 years ago and boy, am I glad I did! The high interest level of Sonlight books have given my active boys (and my more tranquil daughter) the opportunity to hear and learn from great books even if they couldn't sit still very long. Even in high school, we choose some books to read aloud because we enjoy books together and it has become part of our DNA. Although this photo is staged, 17-year-old Nathaniel really can maneuver a soccer ball while he reads or listens to Christie read. He is studying Core 300 and British Literature in his twelfth and final year of Sonlight. His three older siblings all used Sonlight from 6th grade through high school, graduated college, and are now working.
