"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 remains the best fit for our family after all these years," writes Kim T of Bloomington, IL. "We have always loved how 'portable' Sonlight is. You can take it wherever you want; even under the ladder of your bunk bed! Anna loves reading her Sonlight Readers wherever her cat is." Anna has used Sonlight since she was 5-years-old; she is now 17 and studying Core 400. Her older siblings also used Sonlight for their entire schooling. Sarah (19) is in her junior year of nursing school, while Josh (22) just graduated with a double major in marketing and business.

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!
