"Sonlight has been not only fun and stress-free, but also a lifesaver," writes Andriana S of Fairbanks, AK. "During a rough winter of sickness, I was still able to pick up my Instructor's Guide, get out the books and teach with ease. Watching my child learn so quickly, with such depth, and in such a small amount of time each day really gave me the inspiration I needed to keep teaching every day.

"With Sonlight, I feel we have everything we need for a complete, in-depth, Christ-centered education. My favorite part about using Sonlight is all of the 'real' books we get to read together daily.

"Sonlight is so fun to use year-round! The Science is perfect for our long summer days in the Land of the Midnight Sun." Here, friend and fellow Sonlighter, Athena M, with Noelle S (6) and Zoe M (6) share some outdoor Sonlight at the local botanical gardens, as they read How Flowers Grow (from Science A). The girls are studying Core A.

"Our family has always loved to read, but the quality and depth of our reading material has been greatly enhanced in our first year with Sonlight," writes Kortney V of Des Moines, IA. "I took this photo from our dining room table; our two youngest Sonlighters snuck away to find their own books to read while I worked with our older students." Pictured, Barrett (4) and Mabel (1) read to themselves while their siblings work.

"My son Asher (13) and I were so excited when History / Bible / Literature J was announced!" says Tracy M of Germantown, MD. "This may have been our most exciting box day; there were so many amazing new books. All the books in J seem perfectly chosen for this season of life. It's clear a great deal of thought and energy was put into this program." In this picture, Asher reads Code Talkers, one of his favorites from HBL J. Asher, the oldest in a family of four, has been homeschooled for nine years, the last five with Sonlight.
