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!

In her ninth year of Sonlight, Robin P of Cibolo, TX writes: "Our family has amassed a wonderful collection of quality books with Sonlight and we enjoy an excellent family library.  Autumn (13) and Bailey (11) love to read and always take a book with them everywhere we go. We are never in short supply with shelves full of good books. Although reading may seem like a solitary activity, we have found that it actually builds family bonds. The Read-Alouds provide wonderful family moments and the girls are also drawn together over a good book." Here, the sisters grabbed two favorites from their Sonlight H studies and found a cozy spot while they waited for an event to begin.

Sonlight gives my children a love for learning, and if they love learning, they can succeed in whatever they decide to do in life. Great books make History and Science come alive. Through reading, their vocabulary grows and they learn proper grammar and writing. It's exciting to see them seek out more information on a subject, and for fun, reenact what they're learning. Cameron (11) and Jackson (9), in their third year of Sonlight adventures, are exploring Core F.
