"Learning through literature enables my kids to feel like they know the characters and to gain a deeper understanding of the past and the world around them. We considered going back to a textbook approach for high school, but after one tedious chapter in a history book, we were reminded what a difference Sonlight makes. My younger kids could answer the test questions better than my high schooler who read the textbook because they'd been reading about the same period in The Story of the World. Making history come alive is a much better way to learn!"

"Sonlight has been a blessing to our family," says Carla P of Upper Marlboro, MD. "The living books bring so much joy and depth to our homeschool days. The best part of Sonlight is that it fosters deep and meaningful interaction and bonds, along with a great education. Being a military family, we move a lot, and it helps our kids adjust to bring their old 'friends' (books) with them!" Pictured, Ava (9) celebrates Box Day. The P family has been homeschooling for five years, Sonighting for two.

After having used Sonlight for Kindergarten through 12th grade, my son is a critical thinker and can have an intelligent conversation with anyone (even with others whose beliefs don't line up with his)," writes Barbara W of Red Oak, TX. "He knows what he believes and WHY! (Thank you Sonlight!) I'm thankful that my son used Sonlight's Understanding the Times curriculum in high school, and was able to learn and study different worldviews. We also used Sonlight's logic books, and he is very good at detecting baloney! Results? He received a full scholarship from a large university. Here, 19-yearold Dustin poses for a Senior picture. He's used Sonlight Cores A through 530 in his twelve years of Sonlight.
