Before I switched to Sonlight, I was a stressed-out mom. Especially in the area of science. Sonlight makes it so easy. The IGs lay things out for me and explain them so well that it's easy to follow along and the year flies by. The kids enjoy the Activity Sheets, and they absolutely love watching the experiment DVD and doing the hands-on activities. I like that there are always extra activity suggestions to enhance their learning. Sonlight has allowed me to spend more time enjoying the homeschool experience. Thank you! Here, Annah (5), Micah (10) and Jonah (9) identify the types of rocks they collected. The B family is studying Core B+C and Science C in their first year with Sonlight.

The Sonlight Instructor's Guides have relieved much of the stress of teaching. My husband can jump right in and help because the information is well-organized and easy to follow. Not coming from an evangelical Christian background, we worried that the missionary component might be too much for our liking. On the contrary, we love how it breaks us out of our 'American bubble.' The stories have been so strengthening to our faith! It just reaffirms that God is not white or any other race, but an eternal God who loves variety in His family. In their second year of Sonlight, Caleb (4) is using Core A, while Sarah (7), Chloe (9) and Abigail (9) share Core D. Here, they work together on a buzzer circuit experiment from Science C. 

"I knew I wanted to homeschool from the time I had my first son, but I was afraid that I wasn't smart enough or organized enough to give him the VERY best. So when I received the 2nd Grade All Subjects package from Sonlight I was so relieved at how simply everything was laid out for me. And as we finish up this school year I am just so grateful to Sonlight for helping me give my children an exceptional education," writes Tiffany P of Sanford, North Carolina. Here, Jason (7), Sebastian (2) and Rosalie (4) look at Dinosaurs Unleashed from Science C.
