Sonlight is worth every penny! I was hesitant to make that first purchase because it seemed expensive. I spent hours trying to figure out ways to get a Sonlight education without buying a Core. But each idea was lacking in some way and would require lots of time and effort on my part. I finally ordered Core A with Science A and am so glad I did! The IG is a big deal. The hard work and planning has been done. All we do is open and start learning! Sonlight lets us relax and enjoy being a family. Here, Dad reads with Paige (4) and Sydney (6) during a normal Sonlight day.

"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.

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.
