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. 

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.  

"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.
