"The great variety of topics covered in the Sonlight curriculum has provided so many opportunities to discuss important issues as a family. Our children understand that there is a world full of physical and spiritual needs, and countless people to whom we can show Christ's love. Read-Alouds are undoubtedly the highlight of our day. Sonlight Readers, with their great character development and interesting stories, have given my children a love of reading." In his eighth year of Sonlight, Caleb (11, Level F), sketches the bean sprout he grew for science. – Sharilee J of Shawnee, KS

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! Here, twelve-year-old Mackenzie reads from Science G in her third year of Sonlight.

"Thanks to Sonlight my kids are excited about learning and I feel well-prepared to teach them!" writes Rachyl R of Harrisburg, IL. "Sonlight has made learning come alive for us. We can open up a book and immediately be transported into a new world. As we adventured through American History this year with Level D, my kids were able to explore right along with Lewis and Clark, see what it was like to be there when the Constitution was signed, go on a mission with Adoniram Judson, and so much more. I often find my daughter up in bed at night sneaking in the next chapter in a Read-Aloud! " Here, Isabel (9) and Gunnar (6) learn about growing corn and beans with their famer father and a science experiments book from Science D.

Sonlight really makes science come alive and inspires children to think outside the box. We have enjoyed all of the experiments and easy instructions Sonlight provides. From a mom who didn't like science much in school, thank you Sonlight for making this fun! I wish I had been taught the Sonlight way. Mikey (8) loved the experiments in his first year of Sonlight, and wanted to do some of his own in the summer. Here, he and dad blast their homemade rocket in the backyard.
