It's delightful to have a curriculum that allows me to combine my kids while allowing them to explore their God-given gifts and passions individually. With Sonlight, we felt the freedom to have Paul follow along in a Science program that was technically out of his age range. The result was a 5-year-old who learned a TON of science and perhaps discovered his passion. In this picture, Luke (7) had already moved on, but Paul was fairly sure the bulb would be even brighter if he added a fourth battery. And it worked! Both boys were jazzed with the results. In their family's third year of Sonlight, Paul and Luke share Core A and Science C. 

I am thrilled that Sonlight has so many Biblical teaching tools available. Incorporating the Bible into our everyday routine was a must. I feel so blessed to have quality time with my children. Even our 20-month-old, Sophia, loves to listen to the Read-Alouds. Homeschooling with Sonlight has been a wonderful experience! In their first year of Sonlight, Chance (8) and Hunter (6) share Core C and Science C. Here, they soak up real-world learning as they examine caterpillars making cocoons. 

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.
