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.

Sonlight has given my daughters such a love of books and history. They aren't afraid to ask provocative questions and impress me every day with their fund of knowledge. The curriculum is so comprehensive that I was nervous about handling day-to-day assignments our first year. But Sonlight has been a joy. There are so many opportunities to reinforce lessons with hands-on activities. Sonlight is so much fun that our daughters forget they're learning! In their second year of Sonlight fun, Dylan (6) and Bobbie (9) don saris from Southeast Asia while studying Core B's Peoples of the World.

Not only have we experienced the academic benefits of using Sonlight in our homeschool journey, we've also had the delight of watching this curriculum impact our children's character. When we began eight years ago, little did we know that the seeds planted by Sonlight's inspirational biographies and stories of diverse cultures would sprout up children who long to let God use their lives for His glory. Because of Sonlight, we're watching our children become more aware of the world around them, more sensitive to the needs of hurting people and more confident that God can, and will, use anyone willing to obey His call.
