Sonlight encompasses all the ideals I ever hoped to achieve spiritually and scholastically for my children and provides the tools for me to accomplish those goals. After homeschooling without joy for a decade, I was at a dead end. I approached a Sonlight mom for advice and made the switch. Last year we enjoyed our best school year ever and now own six full Cores! Not only was our school journey transformed, but our lives also, as we began to function better as a family. Here, Gantry (8, Core D+E) shares his Science experiment with Hayden (3, P3/4 Multi-Subject) and Gatlin (6, Core B).

Ever since we started using Sonlight, the kids are excited about school each day. Sometimes they even ask to do their Sonlight on the weekend! They can't wait to find out what we're learning about each day. Our homeschool is all about combining family and learning and making it as fun and exciting as possible. Sonlight enables us to do just that. Ten-year-old Logan (whom Rachel found reading in this bucket one day) is studying Core D+E in his third year of Sonlight.

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!
