Sonlight has made a fun, challenging education possible for our children, without creating much additional work for their mother. We couldn't have successfully gotten this far without the great curriculum, wonderful books, and helpful teacher's manual that Sonlight provided. If I had to pick my favorite things about Sonlight, they would be the wonderful literature, the fact that planning and prep work are already done for me, the in-depth look at history, and the complete flexibility. Here, the G family poses on a family trip to the Badlands. This year, Beren (9) is using Core E as Helena (12) studies Core 100.  After thirteen years of Sonlight, Zach (18) has graduated and is on to Ohio State University to study entomology. 

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.

Sonlight has exposed our kids to wonderful literature, unique perspectives, and at all times, the highest standards. I appreciate Sonlight's flexibility. I work full time and love how I can tailor the schedule to suit our lifestyle. We spent the past year studying British history and literature in preparation for a trip to Great Britain.  Here, Mom, Caroline (15) and Meredith (13) read from The Ravenmaster's Secret outside the Tower of London. The family has been studying with Sonlight for 8 years.
