"I'm heading off to college for the first time and can't help but feel a little jealous of my siblings, because they'll be doing Sonlight again this year," writes Kailey H of Marshfield, WI. "My family has loved learning so much since we started using Sonlight. History became my favorite subject, and I consumed all the books in each Core. I'm grateful for the in-depth Student Guides that forced me to think critically and caused me to formulate my own values. I feel well-prepared, and the thought of writing a college-level essay doesn't frighten me. I know I have the tools to be successful. Pictured are siblings Luke (15, Core 200), Abigail (13, Core H), Hope (10, Core G), and Mark (8, Core D).

If you don't use Sonlight, what are you waiting for?. Our kids were in school for a few years, and I couldn't think of a better program than Sonlight to bring us back together as a learning family unit. Reading and spending time together strengthens the bond we have and takes us on grand adventures together. Here, Seth (12, Core F), Zackary (14, Core F) and Morgaine (16, British Literature 530) read on a family trip. 

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.
