Michelle M of Louisville, KY writes: "As a former private school teacher, I like how Sonlight's lessons are laid out for you. It saves so much time! I hoped to put together my own curriculum before having children but the amount of time and energy it takes to research and explore the subjects won't allow me to now. Finding Sonlight was a relief because they have already put the time and energy into the research. Now, I am freed up to engage my children and teach them!" Here, Michelle's youngest, Oak (5) celebrates the freedom of homeschooling by practicing his handwriting in full costume.

"We've been a Sonlight family for most of the past 15 years," writes Melissa C of Wray, CO. "It was the first curriculum we ever researched and, after looking into dozens of others (and using some of them), the one we came back to. I love that the Instructor's Guide does all the planning for me. Our bookworm kids devour the Readers, and even our kids who didn't enjoy reading have been captivated by the literature. Read-Aloud time is, hands down, our favorite part of the day! It's like pulling old friends off the shelf as we read and reread them to our five kids." Eloise (13, HBL W) celebrates the end of the year with her finished stack of books!

Sonlight is super-organized, yet allows flexibility, making it simple to just teach and expand. This is our first year of homeschooling. As I looked at many programs, I fell in love with your structure and religion-based curriculum. My girls are excited to begin their day with Sonlight. We love it and look forward to each week. There's no looking back! In their first Sonlight year, Kathryn (5) and Alayna (3) are enjoying the Preschool and Kindergarten Multi-Subject programs.
