"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.

"We love the capacity Sonlight homeschooling builds in our children to cooperate and share their learning experiences with siblings," says Rebekah P of Anchorage, AK. "It's a great foundation for a life-long devotion to learning and growing hand-in-hand with the most significant people in your life." Pictured, twin second-graders Dora and Sylvia were fascinated by studying electricity this year! As their Sonlight year progressed, they became more and more confident at setting up their science activities independently. The C's have been Sonlighting for three years.

As soon as I saw Sonlight's Instructor's Guides and what awesome books we'd enjoy reading together, I didn't have to look further. My husband and I are teachers by training, so we understand the time necessary for good planning and a successful learning experience. As a mother, I also recognize that I don't have that kind of time anymore. I want to spend my days with my family, not planning for the next school day. Sonlight provides great books, incredibly organized and detailed lesson plans, the freedom to do what works best for our family, and the opportunity to teach our Christian faith. Mom and Dad here share the Good News with Lucas (5, Core A, Science A) and Carlos (2).
