As an educator in the community college system, I used to poll my students to see the best way to educate my children - private, (not public), or homeschool.  Invariably the homeschooled youth were the most diligent and respectful of the lot.  I researched until I found Sonlight 14 years ago - and so we began our journey.  Since then I have more than fallen in love with Sonlight - as have my original 4 daughters, and our newer adopted daughter/sister.  The five have bonded more than I could never have imagined, while always increasing their love for the Lord and his awsome world.  Sonlight has been a major catalyst carrying me (and the girls) through single parenthood and back into the stability of a fuller family.  They love using their dramatic flair in bringing what we learn to life - as seen in their rendition of US History in this picture.  Thank you Sonlight for bringing us the best, the most interesting, and uplifting curriculum out there - one we don't have to be cautious about before jumping into a good book!  Three cheers for Sonlight!

Treasures are unfolding in our Home School. Sonlight Core B is opening my daughter's eyes to a bigger world. Each of them are gathering knowledge and understanding that there are different people, cultures, beliefs, and places far beyond what they experience in our community. Comparing money from Russia, Honduras, Cuba, China, Hong Kong, Panama and USA gave them concrete knowledge. Reading about passports and visas came alive as they held their own passports with visas and stamps from China and Hong Kong. Reading becomes reality with Sonlight. 

We love the ministry/spiritual emphasis Sonlight puts in its programs. The whole atmosphere in our home has changed dramatically! More than seven years ago, I felt led to quit a great job to be a stay-at-home mom. This curriculum plays such an important role. I especially love overhearing them during play, using names of the characters and parts of the world we've studied. Family members who were skeptical about homeschooling, which is so unusual in our country, are amazed at their skills and knowledge. I can't say enough about how much we love and believe in Sonlight! After just one year of Sonlight, Aline (6), Aslan (3) and Grace (7), along with Mom, are addicted to literature!
