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!

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.

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.
