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!

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.

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!
