The multicultural and missions emphasis keep drawing us back to Sonlight. Core F has been the best one yet! It was a very special year as Marissa and I prayed and cried our way through studying some of the least-evangelized countries in the world. It has made her a more compassionate person. The adventures at the end of each unit were especially fun. We tried a lot of new foods. The research projects, geography and reading selections also tie together beautifully. Thanks for offering a curriculum I haven't seen elsewhere and that affirms our values as missionaries. In their fifth year of Sonlight, Marissa (11) and Alena (6) are developing a closer relationship as they explore Cores C and G.

We always encourage homeschoolers to try Sonlight and see what a refreshing change happens within your family. We are often asked how we got our kids to get along and love each other so well. Many won't understand unless they have taken the Sonlight path of homeschooling. Sonlight has developed a tight bond between siblings. They often compare what they study and read in Sonlight's curriculum, which sparks debates or excited chatter over suspenseful stories. We have many memories over the years of listening to books curled up on our cushy sofa. Here, Dad helps Paris (15), Tristan (14) and Nakita (12) collect water samples for a Biology experiment. They're studying Cores F and 100 in their family's eleventh year of Sonlight.

This is my son Timothy, on our very first Box Day in 2010. The moment I opened the box and brought out the books, he started flipping through them and playing with the pattern blocks which came with his math set. We started school the very next day. We are now on our third year of home schooling, also our third with Sonlight, and the excitement of Box Day remains the same. (We are actually, as of this writing, awaiting our third core, Core B!) My son enjoys the books and activities, and I love seeing him having fun while learning. Even I have learned so much from Core A! More than once I've said, "This is fascinating! How come I wasn't fascinated like this when I was studying?"
