"When I opened my first box of Sonlight, there was a slight moment of panic ... until I opened the Instructor's Guide," writes Lorelei K of The Woodlands, TX. "The IG laid out our first day of homeschool. Neatly outlined and with helpful suggestions along the way, the IG sat beside me like an old friend helping me on my journey. Two years and thousands of memories later, we love Sonlight!" Here, Christopher (9, Sonlight C) eagerly reads ahead in McBroom's Wonderful One-Acre Farm.

Before we made our decision to use Sonlight, I felt as if I'd never move beyond an endless succession of 'Teacher Planning Days. Things changed when we started the Core P4/5 curriculum – I could stop planning and start doing! Now I'm checking off boxes instead of constantly creating them. We've found it easy to use Sonlight to enrich our family activities. We read, and then we 'do' (and sometimes we even read while we 'do')! Hiking in the Appalachians, Julia, Lincoln (4), baby brother Zane and cousin Ben (9) stopped to read Caterpillars and Butterflies … and were surprised by a real tiger swallowtail! In his first Sonlight year, Lincoln is studying Core P4/5 and Science A.

My girls love Sonlight Science, with its great hands-on experiments. I was terrified to homeschool because I had no experience. I couldn't do it without Sonlight to put it all together for me. I can provide an outstanding education for my girls without spending lots of prep time. The wonderful books and complete schedules allow me to homeschool with confidence and still have time for my own interests. Sonlight has allowed me to follow the Lord's direction for our family. Here, Grandpa, Lucy (5, P4/5 Multi-Subject), Grace and Annie (9 and 7, Core B, Science B), confirm what they've just learned about the moon and space.
