I can trust Sonlight to have interesting, challenging, Christ-centered materials that are always just right for Elizabeth's academic level. My husband and I are so thankful for the flexibility a Sonlight education offers. We can have school anywhere, anytime! As a working mother, my time is often short. I'm so grateful that I can open my Sonlight [Instructor's Guide] binder and have my little girl's education all planned out. Like most Sonlight families, Box Day is one of the most exciting days in our year! The joy on Elizabeth's (6) face is apparent as she hugs her Core C materials in preparation for her third Sonlight year.

"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.

With Ethan turning five this year, I knew I needed to figure out what to do about schooling him. God placed it in my heart to home school my kids, but I had no idea where to begin. After spending months on the internet searching for homeschooling curriculum and material, it was clear to me that Sonlight was the best. The faith-based curriculum, the organized and easy to follow instructor guides, the way everything was laid out- amazed me. No one in my family and no one I knew had ever home-schooled their children, but I was so excited and eager to begin. My kids love learning, and are as pleased with Sonlight as my husband and I are. We are studying the kindergarten multisubject package with our five and a half year old son, Ethan, and doing preschool with our three and half year old daughter, Naomi. They love everything- the books, math materials, history, and reading the Bible. Ethan was especially drawn to the maps, asking us to point out where everyone he knew could be located. We were also able to show him Ukraine, the country his father and I were born in, and were presented with great opportunity to explain to him more about our heritage. He was thrilled when we got him a globe, wanting to encourage his interest. My husband and I love how all the material helps our family bond and grow together. We are so thankful for Sonlight and for the opportunity to educate our kids with confidence.
