We are so happy we chose Sonlight!" writes Amanda J of Princeton, MN. "It has brought such rich books into our lives. We did not take time to read many books before we started our homeschool journey, and now we can't get enough. Each time we finish a book we agree this may be a new favorite . . . only to start the next one and fall in love with that book."
"We love how the books just flow through history and really bring it to life. We appreciate how well the curriculum is built and plan to be a Sonlight family for many years to come."
This is a picture of Lucy (9) on her last day of school with her Grade 3 All-Subjects Package."She was so proud of all the books we read, she wanted a picture with all of them!" says Amanda. "We can't wait for the next box of Sonlight books to arrive."
"When studying two HBL programs, all the children benefit from hearing one anothers' lessons," writes Anne M of Grand Rapids, MI. "My husband and I are thankful for the time Sonlight saves me. With the convenience of well-planned Instructor's Guides, I am able to look over the guide, pull the recommended resources together, and we're ready to go.
"After researching numerous curricula and reading lists, I've come to trust Sonlight's books as being some of the best for each recommended age group."
Here, Pieter (10) and Sarah (9) listen to Anne (mom) read aloud from Landmark History of the American People in HBL E. Matthew and Rachel (7, HBL B) listen in and experiment with pastels as part of a lesson from Artistic Pursuits.
When we were in school, my husband and I did what we had to in order to make the grade, mostly without much enthusiasm for the subject matter," writes Kelly B of Savannah, GA. "Our children, by contrast, are enthusiastically on a path to a life-long love of learning."
"Why? Because Sonlight's historical fiction and biographies coincide beautifully with the spine books and supplemental readings. History becomes 'real' and personal to my kids, and they are deeply affected by it. The books' characters become friends–or enemies. The kids mourn when we finish the final page."
