There are many reasons we choose Sonlight each year: We love the books, the Christ-centered curriculum and we really do love to learn! One of my prayers for homeschooling was that  our children would have fun while learning together. Sonlight helped answer that prayer by providing great Readers, Read-Alouds, History lessons, Science experiments and Bible memory verses set to music that we can enjoy together. On this beautiful summer day, they took some of their favorite books outside to enjoy with each other. In their fifth Sonlight year, Karli (5) is using Core A with Language Arts 1 and Samantha (8) is using Core D. They're studying Science A and E together.

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).

My daughter has complete faith in the books Sonlight has chosen. Referring to a new Reader, she has said on many occasions, 'I know it will be good, because Sonlight picked it. We started homeschooling with Sonlight (Core A) because we were drawn into the Christian focus and the way Sonlight uses books instead of boring textbooks to teach history. As we approach the teen years, we're still lined up on the couch, happily reading aloud together. I'm so happy with the education we're getting. Not only has my child received a great education; but I've learned so much more than I ever did in public school. I have no desire to try other curriculums. Larkin (11, Core E) also has a fondness for Sonlight Science.
