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.

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'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.
