As a new homeschooling family, we were immediately drawn to Sonlight's educational approach because it is both biblical and globally focused. I met my husband on the mission field in Nigeria, and we have since been blessed with three boys, with another one on the way. Our kids are being exposed to the very heart of missions and we can share with them a worldwide perspective for God's people. We are able to teach our kids about differing cultures and help draw their two cultures together. Sonlight is making our homeschooling journey more exciting every day! Here, Ishaku teaches Josiah (5, Core B) and Tobias (4, Core A) about a Bibleless tribe in his home country of Nigeria.

I discovered Sonlight 16 years ago and boy, am I glad I did! The high interest level of Sonlight books have given my active boys (and my more tranquil daughter) the opportunity to hear and learn from great books even if they couldn't sit still very long. Even in high school, we choose some books to read aloud because we enjoy books together and it has become part of our DNA. Although this photo is staged, 17-year-old Nathaniel really can maneuver a soccer ball while he reads or listens to Christie read. He is studying Core 300 and British Literature in his twelfth and final year of Sonlight. His three older siblings all used Sonlight from 6th grade through high school, graduated college, and are now working.  

Sonlight has developed a love of learning in all three of my children. As a speech-language pathologist, I was excited by the rich language and vocabulary each Core contains.  Each of our kids absolutely relishes the Sonlight books. I'm personally excited to re-use our first Core this year for Faith and am blessed to watch her love of learning grow as richly as her brothers. Here, Jameson (11, Core F) teaches Faith (5, Core A) how to use The Timeline Book (#RR120) to track world history.
