"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.

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.

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. 

We have used Sonlight Curriculum for a decade! We love the great literature, flexible structure, and opportunity for all our girls to grow in their unique abilities. We save each Core for our youngest and when she completes it, we have a family gathering and review each book and decide which books need to stay on as part of our permanent family library. Our library is growing with fantastic literature that also has beautiful family memories attached to each book. Katie says that homeschooling has allowed their family bonds to flourish.
