Sonlight is Christ-centered, well-organized, easy to teach, trustworthy, affordable, and most of all, fun! The teacher's guide is easy to follow, requiring no preparation or planning on my part. The books and materials are beautiful and Christ-centered, highlighting the unique people and creation of the world. And most importantly, my children love their school time: reading, creating, singing, and especially science project times with Daddy. I had no idea how much children learn through listening to books read aloud. It's truly amazing. Here, 3-year-old Keira confidently announces "and this is a chrysalis" to her 5-year-old sister, Naomi. Naomi is studying Core A in her second year of Sonlight as Keira listens in. 

Sonlight's grab-and-go Instructor's Guide makes it possible for us to homeschool. We live on a cattle ranch and homestead (produce much of our own food), so I wouldn't have time to design a curriculum. Sonlight has brought the world into our house. I love that my kids embrace diversity as a direct result of exposure to Sonlight books. They regularly impress people with the depth of their knowledge. They want to be explorers and adventurers, just like the ones we read about. On this day, Dalton (5, Core A) and Maddy (3, P3/4 Multi-Subject) explore the creek.

Sonlight's diverse and exceptional books have brought many far-off places right into our home, causing my daughter's imagination and creativity to come alive. I thought history was boring, until we started Sonlight; now it's our favorite subject. Using Sonlight makes us want to go out and explore the world. The books paint such a clear picture in our minds that everywhere we go becomes an educational experience. Plus, the Instructor's Guides are easy to follow, giving us more time for field trips and to just enjoy learning together. In her fifth Sonlight year, Valerie (7, Core B) likes to dress up when inspired by a favorite book.
