"Thank you Sonlight for keeping our family bonds growing stronger every year," writes Allison H of Bridgeport, WV. "After sending our first child to public kindergarten and disliking the lack of family time due to Dad's untraditional work schedule, we decided to try a year of homeschooling. Five years and five Sonlight programs later we are so glad we decided to dive into Sonlight. I love how our children can learn together. Sonlight has allowed us to strengthen our family bonds while we school and because of that our children enjoy each other." While studying Science D, Seth (11), Hadley (9) and Ruthie (7) were thrilled to watch caterpillars transform, and here they hold the butterflies before they take flight.

"Sonlight's creation-based science program has been great for our family," writes Sara R of Adel, IA. "I love how much the girls enjoy working together on their science experiments. Here, they're using the weather vane they made to test and record the direction of the wind." Two-year-old Karli loves learning alongside her big sister Samantha (5). They're studying Core A and Science A in their second year of Sonlight.

Before I switched to Sonlight, I was a stressed-out mom. Especially in the area of science. Sonlight makes it so easy. The IGs lay things out for me and explain them so well that it's easy to follow along and the year flies by. The kids enjoy the Activity Sheets, and they absolutely love watching the experiment DVD and doing the hands-on activities. I like that there are always extra activity suggestions to enhance their learning. Sonlight has allowed me to spend more time enjoying the homeschool experience. Thank you! Here, Annah (5), Micah (10) and Jonah (9) identify the types of rocks they collected. The B family is studying Core B+C and Science C in their first year with Sonlight.

With Sonlight, history comes alive! It is not just memorizing and spitting out facts and dates. When our children were enrolled in a private school before we brought them home, they were doing lots of worksheets and 'busy work.' History was chapter after chapter of facts and dates to recite. With Sonlight, history comes alive with stories about real places and people and their adventures. Thank you. In their fourth year of Sonlight, Andrew (15, Core 100), Elizabeth (13, Core 100) and Paul (9, Core D) use their Sonlight Science to research how to make a suitable habitat for the box turtles they found in their yard.
