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.

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.

"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!"
