Sonlight's lesson plans, study guides and teacher helps saved our homeschool. After our first year of patchworking together a curriculum, my husband said, 'If this is what homeschooling will require of you, we won't be continuing!' Then a friend introduced us to Sonlight while we were on furlough from the mission field and we fell in love with it. No more patchwork – Sonlight saved my sanity! Three high school graduates later (with three more to go), we're STILL loving Sonlight. In the family's twelfth year of Sonlight study, Deborah (13, Core G) enjoys a good read in the strawberry patch.

Sonlight's diverse and exceptional books have brought many far-off places right into our home, causing my daughter's imagination and creativity to come alive. I thought history was boring, until we started Sonlight; now it's our favorite subject. Using Sonlight makes us want to go out and explore the world. The books paint such a clear picture in our minds that everywhere we go becomes an educational experience. Plus, the Instructor's Guides are easy to follow, giving us more time for field trips and to just enjoy learning together. In her fifth Sonlight year, Valerie (7, Core B) likes to dress up when inspired by a favorite book.

"When I opened my first box of Sonlight, there was a slight moment of panic ... until I opened the Instructor's Guide," writes Lorelei K of The Woodlands, TX. "The IG laid out our first day of homeschool. Neatly outlined and with helpful suggestions along the way, the IG sat beside me like an old friend helping me on my journey. Two years and thousands of memories later, we love Sonlight!" Here, Christopher (9, Sonlight C) eagerly reads ahead in McBroom's Wonderful One-Acre Farm.
