SonlightCaresTM Policies

One-year Love to Learn, Love to Teach™ Guarantee

Buy any complete Sonlight History / Bible / Literature program or All- Subjects Package, and the Love to Learn, Love to Teach™ Guarantee is yours. Or create your own complete program by combining any History / Bible / Literature with any math, language arts, and science programs (one each per History / Bible / Literature), on one order… you’re still covered.

Take up to one year to actually use the first half of your eligible program(s). Then if you don’t love it ... if you aren’t convinced Sonlight makes homeschooling a pleasure for you and your kids, please return your program—the entire package, used books and all. We’ll give you a full refund of your purchase price.

This unmatched one-year Love to Learn, Love to Teach™ Guarantee includes the following provisions:

  1. You have up to one year from date of purchase to use anything scheduled through Week 18 and you can still return it all for a full refund.
  2. If you decide you don’t love Sonlight, you can return either the portion of your program that you don’t like, or your entire program. All materials not scheduled for use until after Week 18 must be in unused, resalable condition (as explained in the 6-Month Return Policy). If you want a refund for your entire program, we must receive all your materials – used and unused.
  3. If you’d like to keep part of your package, we will accept one partial return of materials in any packages that qualify for the Love to Learn, Love to Teach™ Guarantee (that way you can keep those items that work for you). Any items you keep following that one-time partial return are subject to the terms of our standard 6-Month Return Policy.
  4. A full or partial History / Bible / Literature return (even if purchased within a Sonlight All-Subjects Package) WILL DISQUALIFY you from SonlightCares™ that comes with a History / Bible / Literature purchase.
  5. Refund of your purchase price does not include reimbursement of your return shipping expenses.

We’ve got your back with this guarantee. We’re confident that with Sonlight, you’ll get everything you need to succeed. So try Sonlight and see if you love it! Chances are ... you will.

Anything not covered by the Love to Learn, Love to Teach™ Guarantee falls under the 6-Month Return Policy.

IG Repurchase Discount

To help you use Sonlight with multiple children, we give you a 50% discount on future editions of any Instructor’s Guide (IG) you purchase from Sonlight. In other words, when you’re ready to re-use a program with a younger child, you can update to the most current version of the IG at 50% of the current cost. The online cart system will automatically apply this discount when you order online and will be reflected in the discount area of the SUMMARY section.

Please note: We offer the repurchase discount with the understanding that the new Instructor’s Guide is for the purpose of replacing the previous edition(s) for the benefit of the original purchaser only. For more details see sonlight.com/repurchase.

Free Shipping

The purchase of a History / Bible / Literature or All-Subjects Package qualifies you for fast, trackable shipping on all $50+ orders to the lower 48 states. A History / Bible / Literature or All-Subjects Package purchase qualifies you for this free shipping for all $50+ orders for a year, including the initial qualifying order. Once you purchase your fifth History / Bible / Literature or All-Subjects Package, you receive this perk for life as an Heirloom customer!

10% Discount

Your 10% discount lets you buy anything else you need throughout the year.

  • Customers who purchase an All-Subjects Package receive our biggest discount, 20%, on that package. Customers who purchase a History / Bible / Literature receive 15% on that package. Both receive a 10% discount on nearly everything else they buy for a full year.
  • Customers who have purchased five or more History /Bible / Literature or All-Subjects Packages receive a 10% discount on nearly everything else they buy for life!
  • We have already applied the 10% (or greater) discount on each All-Subjects Package and History / Bible / Literature program. No additional discounts apply. All additional purchases made throughout the year will receive a 10% discount.

*Due to restrictions from some publishers, we are not allowed to discount Math-U-See, Spelling-You-See, Rosetta Stone, Singapore Math, All About Spelling, A Child’s History of the World and a few other products.

Eligible for College Scholarships

When you purchase and your students use five Sonlight History / Bible / Literature programs, they become eligible for the Sonlight College Scholarship program. Students preparing to enter college can apply for scholarships worth up to $20,000. One category of scholarships puts the most emphasis on academic performance, and the other values creativity, acts of kindness, and other factors higher than academics. Learn how to apply at sonlight.com/scholarships.

How Sonlight Cares

Sonlight was born out of a desire to help God's international ambassadors – missionaries – stay on the field one more year. Certain values have permeated every part of the business from when we first started in a corner of a house and a tiny garage down the street, to where we are today, almost 30 years later, with a large office-warehouse and a full-time staff. Certain things to us are non-negotiables when we think about you, our staff, and the bigger world in which we live.

Here is a glimpse of what you are supporting when you choose to buy from Sonlight, including the unmatched SonlightCares™ benefits that you'll receive with the purchase of a History / Bible / Literature program or All-Subjects Package.
