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.

Does Sonlight really develop a love for learning? You bet Emma reads in the morning, afternoon and just before bedtime. Here, she just HAD to start a new book ... prior to breakfast, getting dressed or doing her morning chores. How could I say no to this insatiable love for reading that Sonlight has helped develop? Sonlight has helped our first three years of homeschooling be a blessing and success! School is fun, not boring, and the books are so exciting. Eight-year-old Emma is diving into Core C this year as little sister Audrey starts on P3/4.

Sonlight's Language Arts curriculum builds confidence in young readers. My oldest daughter began homeschooling in first grade after attending private school kindergarten. She wasn't a confident reader, but as she completed each I Can Read It book [from Grade 1 Readers] and the corresponding word lists, she began to believe that she really could read and her confidence grew. She not only wanted to read to me, but also to others. Thank you Sonlight for putting together a program that inspires confident readers. In her first year of homeschooling, Lizzie (7) reads to Evie (4) and baby Lucy. She's studying Core C with Grade 1 Readers. Brother Gus (9) is a second-year Sonlight student using Core C with Grade 3 Readers.
