"I wasn't familiar with Sonlight until a fellow homeschool mom shared how much easier my life could be. We started last year and absolutely love being able to study together, particularly reading as a family. We chose Sonlight F this year because it appeals to our missions mindset, and the Choose Your Own Adventure has been delightful. With Sonlight, my life is much easier, and our school day has shortened considerably!" Now in their second Sonlight year, Ezekiel (13), Joshua (12), Gary (10) and Samuel (9) are pictured having fun with ink, grindstone and rice paper, as they explore Chinese writing." – Renee C of Thornton, CO

Before we made our decision to use Sonlight, I felt as if I'd never move beyond an endless succession of 'Teacher Planning Days. Things changed when we started the Core P4/5 curriculum – I could stop planning and start doing! Now I'm checking off boxes instead of constantly creating them. We've found it easy to use Sonlight to enrich our family activities. We read, and then we 'do' (and sometimes we even read while we 'do')! Hiking in the Appalachians, Julia, Lincoln (4), baby brother Zane and cousin Ben (9) stopped to read Caterpillars and Butterflies … and were surprised by a real tiger swallowtail! In his first Sonlight year, Lincoln is studying Core P4/5 and Science A.

I prayed for a curriculum that was God-centered, economical and mom-friendly. Sonlight has given me the ability to teach my five children. Even in our busy and sometimes-chaotic days, we're always able to find a moment to share an inspirational story and bond as a family. My children get up in the morning excited about their schoolwork and have a passion for learning that's contageous. I love that I can just open a binder [Instructor's Guide] and I know what we have to do. God cares about the education of my children and has used Sonlight to achieve this. Now in their third Sonlight year, Faith (4), Tamar (6) and Natalie (6), pictured with visiting cousins, were studying Core B at the time of this outing.
