"I'm heading off to college for the first time and can't help but feel a little jealous of my siblings, because they'll be doing Sonlight again this year," writes Kailey H of Marshfield, WI. "My family has loved learning so much since we started using Sonlight. History became my favorite subject, and I consumed all the books in each Core. I'm grateful for the in-depth Student Guides that forced me to think critically and caused me to formulate my own values. I feel well-prepared, and the thought of writing a college-level essay doesn't frighten me. I know I have the tools to be successful.

"Sonlight offers many captivating and delightful books to its programs that keep the attention of my boys," writes Lisa W of Minnesota City, MN. "After the long, cold winters in Minnesota, we like to read outside in the spring. Along with our dogs, Misty and Sierra, and friendly chicken, Vanilla, my teenage boys still enjoy Read-Aloud time with Mom. The book I'm reading, God's Smuggler, is especially dear to my heart, as I served on an overseas mission trip in college to China with Open Doors Ministry. I feel privileged to share this personal experience with my boys as I read the story of Brother Andrew, who started Open Doors. Although homeschooling has its challenges, I cherish the time I get to spend with my boys, and Sonlight helps make that possible!"

Here, Joshua (13), Josiah (16) and  Lisa read God's Smuggler on the deck outside. They are using HBL H and 200 in their 11th year Sonlighting.

"We've been a Sonlight family for most of the past 15 years," writes Melissa C of Wray, CO. "It was the first curriculum we ever researched and, after looking into dozens of others (and using some of them), the one we came back to. I love that the Instructor's Guide does all the planning for me. Our bookworm kids devour the Readers, and even our kids who didn't enjoy reading have been captivated by the literature. Read-Aloud time is, hands down, our favorite part of the day! It's like pulling old friends off the shelf as we read and reread them to our five kids."
