We are doing what others said would never work: homeschooling high schoolers. The high school level classes are the perfect balance between 'challenging and attainable.' There is very little teaching necessary on our part, making it possible to teach our teenagers two different grades, attain excellent college entrance exam scores and also teach our preschooler at the same time! Sonlight provides you with the tools you need with Student Guides, Parent Guides, and computer courses, making it so easy for the parents. Here, 14-year-old Cameron works on his Teaching Textbooks Algebra 2 course. He's studying Core 200 as his older sister studies Core 530 and little brother explores Core P4/5. The M family has used Sonlight for 7 years.

Grace and Noah enjoy all of the subjects they study with Sonlight, including extracurricular subjects like art. Grace completed several years of Artistic Pursuits and now has started private painting lessons. Sonlight allows us to thoroughly enjoy core subjects – including great literature – while also exploring extra-curricular subjects such as art, music (piano and flute), sewing, cooking and baking, and sports. Here, 12-year-old Grace holds up one of her own paintings. In her seventh year of Sonlight, she shares Core 100 with 14-year-old Noah. 

Sonlight takes the guesswork out of choosing electives. As an art major, I'm particular about the quality of art education our children receive. I've been so happy with the art resources. The lessons are easy to adapt for children of different ages. I can trust that the products Sonlight carries have been tested and found worthy of our time.  Here, Anna (8), Paul (5) and Claire (3) enjoy a shared art lesson.
