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!

Levi was in awe that the science experiment actually worked! He loves doing all the experiments. We love spending time together as a family, and seeing Levi's awe and excitement learning something new is the most precious gift that Sonlight gives our family. In his second year of Sonlight, 5-year-old Levi (Core A, Science A) is amazed to see how hot air expands and cold air condenses. 

"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.
