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.

The multicultural and missions emphasis keep drawing us back to Sonlight. Core F has been the best one yet! It was a very special year as Marissa and I prayed and cried our way through studying some of the least-evangelized countries in the world. It has made her a more compassionate person. The adventures at the end of each unit were especially fun. We tried a lot of new foods. The research projects, geography and reading selections also tie together beautifully. Thanks for offering a curriculum I haven't seen elsewhere and that affirms our values as missionaries. In their fifth year of Sonlight, Marissa (11) and Alena (6) are developing a closer relationship as they explore Cores C and G.

We love the ministry/spiritual emphasis Sonlight puts in its programs. The whole atmosphere in our home has changed dramatically! More than seven years ago, I felt led to quit a great job to be a stay-at-home mom. This curriculum plays such an important role. I especially love overhearing them during play, using names of the characters and parts of the world we've studied. Family members who were skeptical about homeschooling, which is so unusual in our country, are amazed at their skills and knowledge. I can't say enough about how much we love and believe in Sonlight! After just one year of Sonlight, Aline (6), Aslan (3) and Grace (7), along with Mom, are addicted to literature!
