This is my son Timothy, on our very first Box Day in 2010. The moment I opened the box and brought out the books, he started flipping through them and playing with the pattern blocks which came with his math set. We started school the very next day. We are now on our third year of home schooling, also our third with Sonlight, and the excitement of Box Day remains the same. (We are actually, as of this writing, awaiting our third core, Core B!) My son enjoys the books and activities, and I love seeing him having fun while learning. Even I have learned so much from Core A! More than once I've said, "This is fascinating! How come I wasn't fascinated like this when I was studying?"

One of the greatest benefits of homeschooling with Sonlight is that it's completely versatile. Whether you're the type of person who is bubbling with ideas on how to supplement your child's school day or you view formal education as unfamiliar territory, Sonlight offers plenty of ideas and opportunities to make your lessons come to life, and gives lots of guidance and support to those who need it. With Sonlight, you don't have to recreate the wheel; they've already done it for you!" In her first Sonlight year, Macayla (6, Core A) enjoys lunch, Ancient Rome style.

My girls actually learned more in the first month [of Sonlight] than they had the whole year before! Sonlight was recommended by a homeschooling mom who had four sons. I looked it over, and because of the lesson planning already being done for you, I thought it was the answer for having a newborn in our house. I thought we'd just 'try it out' for one year to see how it went. Well, when the books came, we fell in love! The W family has now used Sonlight for four years. Isabella (11) and Amarissa (9) are using Core E as siblings (not pictured) Arlin (4) and Ellianna (2) expore the Preschool Multi-Subject Package.
