As soon as I saw Sonlight's Instructor's Guides and what awesome books we'd enjoy reading together, I didn't have to look further. My husband and I are teachers by training, so we understand the time necessary for good planning and a successful learning experience. As a mother, I also recognize that I don't have that kind of time anymore. I want to spend my days with my family, not planning for the next school day. Sonlight provides great books, incredibly organized and detailed lesson plans, the freedom to do what works best for our family, and the opportunity to teach our Christian faith. Mom and Dad here share the Good News with Lucas (5, Core A, Science A) and Carlos (2).

"I was initially unsure about homeschooling, but Sonlight's Instructor's Guide makes it so easy for me to plan our lessons and not worry about missing something important. I've been surprised by how easy it is to include both boys (ages 6 and 4) in our Core studies. What first excited us about Sonlight was its international focus. We love how the Core combines maps, missionary stories, and books with a range of cultures and races to show our children the beauty and importance of the world beyond their small town. Jeremiah (6) and Nathaniel (4) love to use their Markable Map (#MAP) to find the places they learn about in Core B." – Sara R, La Fayette, GA

I have a friend who uses another curriculum, and she is always stressed out about time. Sonlight is different. I feel free to teach my children using their learning styles and my teaching style. The Instructor's Guides are great – I know exactly what to do each day. We can take time off if needed for spontaneity or vacation or whatever. The single BEST thing about Sonlight is all the wonderful books. Here, superhero Maximus (6) reads his morning devotions.
