"I highly recommend Sonlight Science for several reasons" writes Ann K of Reno, TX. "The supply kits provide easy access to most materials needed for the experiments. The books cover a wide variety of topics, and the activity sheets encourage critical thinking. Its 180-day schedule means all the planning has already been done, and as a former public high school science teacher, I know how valuable that is!" The K family has used each of Sonlight's science programs A through G. William (12) and Caroline (9) spend hours in the woods next to their house exploring science concepts they have learned over the years. Here, they hang a bird feeder they built, inspired by The Young Naturalist in Science G.

"We have enjoyed homeschooling our two boys for the last 10 years, all with Sonlight," writes Carrie S of Wooster, OH. "Our older son is a new Sonlight graduate and will be attending the college of his dreams this fall. Our 12-year-old, pictured, loves the hands-on experiments scheduled in the Science programs. Here, he made a parallel cut. Sonlight not only prepares students for life after high school, but also gives families a resilient bond through sharing thought-provoking literature and great discussions."

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!
