We deeply value that Sonlight allows both parents to be involved in teaching. It's just as easy for Dad to come home and read as it is for Mom to incorporate a book into the 'school day. The world is our classroom, and Sonlight is our ship! We're not bound by schedules or testing requirements or any of the trappings of traditional schooling. We can easily explore concepts we've read about in our Sonlight books. Having such freedom to educate our children when, where and how we want is a treasure! Reading about frogs is nice; exploring a real frog habitat is exciting and enduring. In their first Sonlight year, Ellison (2) is using P3/4 while Kelton (5) studies Core A.

I love that Sonlight gives us everything we need – from the fabulous Instructor's Guides to hands-on Math and Science manipulatives. This is our first year homeschooling. My children love to read and the books have really captured their attention. We've only been using the Sonlight program four weeks and have already made cave paintings, fossils and a volcano. We even dressed up as ancient Romans and laid down on the floor to have our own Roman dinner party. Sonlight is fantastic and I can't wait to see what else is in store! During Science A study, the family was lucky enough to discover tadpoles in their backyard. Along with Dad, Samantha (7), Gregory (5), Danielle (4), James (3) and Connor (2) were delighted to track their development into frogs!
