"Sonlight cultivates our children's natural love of learning and sense of adventure," writes Brian G of Lompoc, CA. "Through the books that find a second life as bedtime stories, the science experiments that give them a newly informed perspective on how things work, and the Bible stories that point them to God, Sonlight has enriched our lives in countless ways." Here, Samuel (3) and Daniel (5) conduct a simple experiment from Science A, exploring air resistance with acorn parachutes.

"One of the first science experiments in Science A was to go outside and count the number of living creatures we could find," writes Catriona W of Uganda. "This was an incredibly rewarding experience, and captivated the boys. Now they always look forward to the experiments and practical demonstrations, and these provide a far better foundation than material that would be covered in a classroom setting. We love the way Sonlight builds around real-life experiences and examples, and has plenty of suggestions for practical tasks, field trips, and other ways to bring the material to life." Here, 6-year-old Isaac inspects a grasshopper he found.

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!
