Three older children who used Sonlight have already graduated and were well-prepared for college. We have homeschooled all nine of our children all the way through high school. We were thrilled to discover Sonlight ten years ago. It fits well with the way we always homeschooled – read alouds, history through biographies and historical fiction, grouping our children together as much as possible. Our children are all avid readers, and finding them in unusual places or positions totally engrossed in a book is not at all uncommon. Here, Debra's youngest child Jadon (8) finds an interesting way to soak up a book. He is studying Core D this year as two older siblings use Core 300. 

"Sonlight high school programs are complete and challenging," writes Sherri N of Siloam Springs, who has used Sonlight for 13 years. "Everything is outlined so that the student can proceed independently. [Once he completes Sonlight 500], Bobby (18) will have successfully used every Sonlight Bible/History/Literature program. He was still excited to unpack the books this year and thinks his senior year will be the best yet. He is well-prepared to effectively engage his world for Christ as he heads off to a competitive college. Sonlight has prepared him well with strong academics and a biblical perspective on the world." Bobby and his seven siblings have all used Sonlight every year since Kindergarten. Here, Bobbly smiles with his newly unpacked Sonlight 500 program.

0ur kids have learned how to think logically and critically and how to teach themselves anything they want to for the rest of their lives. It's like the difference between teaching a man to fish and giving him a fish. I wish many others could grasp how foundational the reading of great books is to a child's education. It seems very logical that language arts, reading and history are tied together. It helps kids learn when there's connection among subjects instead of compartmentalization. If I had it to do over again, I'd use Sonlight from beginning to end. Robin has used Sonlight for the past twelve of her nineteen homeschooling years. Her three oldest have already graduated with Sonlight, and she is savoring her last year with David (17), who is studying Core 200.
