"We are very thankful for Sonlight curriculum that challenges Eli, stretching and maturing him in preparation for college," writes Cory T of Haiti. "The resources Sonlight provides and the emphasis on thinking through information, looking at issues from various perspectives, and communication skills will be very helpful in any college atmosphere. The books hold Eli's interest and motivate learning. And the organized Instructor's Guides help us move effectively through our school days while balancing school and ministry." Here, 14-year-old Eli and 11-year-old Anna take a break from studies to help at a blood pressure screening. In their sixth year of Sonlight, Eli uses Core 300 as Anna studies Core H. 

We love Sonlight because it teaches our children to think critically about what they are learning. It challenges them to carefully consider the worldview that the media and many of their friends hold. They are learning that the biblical worldview is supported by science (among other subjects) and they are learning how to defend their faith. Sonlight also breaks us free from the 'school at home' mindset by allowing a more relaxed learning environment and encouraging discussion rather than completing lots of worksheets. Thanks Sonlight! Here, twelve-year-old Mackenzie reads from Science G in her third year of Sonlight.

I've already seen the results [of Sonlight] in the high scores achieved on SATs and ACTs. By time they get to college, I'm confident that my children will be capable of picking up almost any book on any subject and teaching themselves the material. Weighing in on her Teaching Textbooks experience, Joy (10) says, "I like the little characters that give me hints; they're cute!"
