My one desire is to raise up children who will impact the world for Christ, and Sonlight has provided more than enough material for a lifetime of teachable moments and meaningful conversations. Sonlight's intentional exposure to different cultures and worldviews, the focus on the history of the whole world in light of God's kingdom, and honest wrestling with theology and apologetics has been instrumental in preparing my children to engage the world with the love and truth of Christ. Here, we are having one of our many discussions last year from Core 200: History of God's Kingdom. Fourteen-year-old Hannah hopes to follow God's call on her life into mission work. She is now studying Core 300 in her eleventh year of Sonlight.

It was important to have a Christian curriculum and equally important that it be engaging and easy to use. Sonlight met all our requirements. We have three young children, so there's not a lot of time to plan lessons or select books. Sonlight has taken care of this for us! The diverse stories introduce us to different cultures and historical periods in a such a fun way. They loved reading How Flowers Grow from Science A and asked Daddy if they could plant a sunflower in the garden. It was so much fun watching the children and flower grow together! In the family's second Sonlight year, Sophia (5) is using the Kindergarten Multi-Subject Package, which sister Anastasia (2) also enjoys.

Your curriculum has opened our eyes to the world and broadened our compassion for those in other cultures. The writing projects have been an excellent tool to start discussions about life with our children. Thank you for helping us instill the 'love to learn' mentality in our children! Here, Nathan (13) and Alan (15) tell friends Katelyn (15) and Jennifer (13) about the books they read this past year. The boys generated so much enthusiasm for the Core that Katelyn (who is using Core 300) told her parents she wants to read their Core 100 books even though they're not part of her assigned reading. The S family is using Core 100 in their eighth year of Sonlight, as their friends use Cores H and 300 in their third year of Sonlight.
