"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!"

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!

This is my son Timothy, on our very first Box Day in 2010. The moment I opened the box and brought out the books, he started flipping through them and playing with the pattern blocks which came with his math set. We started school the very next day. We are now on our third year of home schooling, also our third with Sonlight, and the excitement of Box Day remains the same. (We are actually, as of this writing, awaiting our third core, Core B!) My son enjoys the books and activities, and I love seeing him having fun while learning. Even I have learned so much from Core A! More than once I've said, "This is fascinating! How come I wasn't fascinated like this when I was studying?"
