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. 

"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).

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.
