"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.

We love Sonlight because it teaches our children to think critically about what they are learning. It challenges them to carefully consider the worldview that the media and many of their friends hold. They are learning that the biblical worldview is supported by science (among other subjects) and they are learning how to defend their faith. Sonlight also breaks us free from the 'school at home' mindset by allowing a more relaxed learning environment and encouraging discussion rather than completing lots of worksheets. Thanks Sonlight! Here, twelve-year-old Mackenzie reads from Science G in her third year of 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.
