"With Sonlight, we know our family is getting a well-rounded curriculum filled with rich literature that deepens our love for God's world," writes Rebecca Y of Burbank, CA. "The flexibility it gives to have each child learn at their own level, yet together, too, is fantastic. Our favorite part of the day is taking school outdoors for some hands-on learning during science!"

Sonlight lessons are all planned out for me and they include all kinds of fun activities. This was our first year homeschooling. I've been terribly busy and sleep-deprived with a new baby and three young children. Using Sonlight's Science A program was the best decision I could have made. Although the program is laid out in a weekly schedule, I've found it easy to adjust according to our needs. Some weeks we do a bit each day. Other times we have a 'Science Day' and do a week's worth of lessons and activities all at once. I simply pick up where we left off. Here, Gideon (2), Miriam (5) and Tabitha (6) make "hot lava" while studying volcanoes.

"Sonlight's teaching methods initially seemed too different from the way I had been taught," writes Renée L of Ontario, Canada. "Then I remembered that I learned best when my parents read great books to me and when I was allowed to explore the great outdoors and be creative. Sonlight encouraged this style of learning and provided all the resources, including a ready-to-go schedule AND Christ-centered learning with a global focus. So Sonlight received a second look and won us over." In this picture, Micah (10) and Maiah (6) enjoy one of their Readers with mom. The L family has been Sonlighting for six years.
