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. 

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!
