Love to Learn, Love to TeachTM 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:
- One year from date of purchase
