I appreciate that Sonlight is not dogmatic in its approach to education. On the more controversial topics in science and history it offers different viewpoints and allows the parents to decide how to present them. Sonlight also sparks our daughters' creativity. After studying weather in science last year, Alena was constantly looking for opportunities to apply her knowledge in real life.  Whether it was spontaneously building a rain gauge or being thrilled by a shower of hail, she turned into a budding meteorologist. Here, the 7-year-old uses a book from Science A to identify clouds. Her family has used Sonlight for six years.   

""There is nothing more fun than opening the Sonlight box to see what we will learn this year!" writes Courtney C of Brandon, MS. "It was like Christmas morning when my son opened his curriculum. Each book he pulled out of the box meant more surprises and adventures ahead." Thomas (4) has completed Sonlight Pre-K and "cannot wait to get started" on HBL A for Kindergarten. In this photo he rejoices "to find a whole book devoted to weather" while little sister Julia (3) looks on.
