"We are now starting our second year of Sonlight and I wholeheartedly wish I had started to look into it sooner," writes Cathy T of Frederic, WI, who homeschools children ages 15, 11 and 3. "After years of struggles and tears for both my children AND myself, I'm finally getting a glimpse of what homeschooling is really meant to be. As a busy homesteading, hobby-farming mother of (soon to be) five, I love that the research has already been done and that everything is laid out for me in one place. But more importantly, my children are truly happily learning, and that thrills me beyond words! Thank you Sonlight, for reviving our schooling experience, which has in turn, revived our home." Leia (3) loves to "read" to 6-month-old Nathan. She's using Core P4/5 as her older sisters study Core 100 and Core E in their second year of Sonlight.

Kate D of Lakeville, MN writes, "Sonlight stories have allowed my children to experience people determining their life calling, wading through their troubles, and living out their dreams. Living alongside these wonderful characters leads my children to contemplate their own hopes and dreams. It makes them think, "I could do that for Christ! I will live courageously!'" Here, Becca (13), Sam (11) and Nick (10) look at the Sonlight catalog to see what fun lies ahead for next year.

"The kids always look forward to Box Day, but as a Sonlight mom, I'm most excited for Catalog Day!" writes Michelle S of College Station, TX. "We originally decided to homeschool to strengthen the bonds between our kids. After 5 years, we are so grateful to have kids who enjoy learning together. We are so glad we chose Sonlight to foster that closeness!" Pictured, Michelle researches what next year with Sonlight will bring.
