Thanks so much for saving our homeschooling experience! We have been homeschooling our oldest from the beginning, but it seemed to get harder each year. We were using a popular workbook-based curriculum for 3 years and then switched, out of desperation, to a computer-based program. But all we got was cries of 'I hate school!!' I was at my wits end when a friend recommended Sonlight. We got Core D and slowly I noticed he wasn't upset at the mention of school time. By the time we finished the year, he was not complaining at all. A few years after we'd started Sonlight, he said, 'Mom, don't tell anyone, but I actually like school now. I kind of hate to have to stop for the weekends.' That was music to my ears. Here, middle son, Eli (5), gives a sprawling hug to his new Core A books. The D family is now in their fourth year of Sonlight.

"Would Sonlight prepare my children for the rigors of college level work?" Leslie R of Duncanville, TX often wondered during her early years of home schooling.  "Now that my oldest, Nathan, has graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and my second, Sophia, is in college, I can answer that question with a hearty affirmative! Thank you, Sonlight, for providing me with all the tools necessary to not only give my children an excellent academic foundation but also a love for learning." Both of Leslie's older children used Sonlight for 12 years before going off to college, while her youngest daughter, Lydia, is now in high school.
