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.  

"We have enjoyed homeschooling our two boys for the last 10 years, all with Sonlight," writes Carrie S of Wooster, OH. "Our older son is a new Sonlight graduate and will be attending the college of his dreams this fall. Our 12-year-old, pictured, loves the hands-on experiments scheduled in the Science programs. Here, he made a parallel cut. Sonlight not only prepares students for life after high school, but also gives families a resilient bond through sharing thought-provoking literature and great discussions."

 "We are in our 14th year using Sonlight, writes Lois B of Valparaiso, IN. "The literature-based format and the emphasis on seeking to raise winsome Christians (along with Instructor's Guides with everything scheduled for us!) convinced me to try Sonlight and to keep using it.
