"I was initially unsure about homeschooling, but Sonlight's Instructor's Guide makes it so easy for me to plan our lessons and not worry about missing something important. I've been surprised by how easy it is to include both boys (ages 6 and 4) in our Core studies. What first excited us about Sonlight was its international focus. We love how the Core combines maps, missionary stories, and books with a range of cultures and races to show our children the beauty and importance of the world beyond their small town. Jeremiah (6) and Nathaniel (4) love to use their Markable Map (#MAP) to find the places they learn about in Core B." – Sara R, La Fayette, GA

"I wasn't familiar with Sonlight until a fellow homeschool mom shared how much easier my life could be. We started last year and absolutely love being able to study together, particularly reading as a family. We chose Sonlight F this year because it appeals to our missions mindset, and the Choose Your Own Adventure has been delightful. With Sonlight, my life is much easier, and our school day has shortened considerably!" Now in their second Sonlight year, Ezekiel (13), Joshua (12), Gary (10) and Samuel (9) are pictured having fun with ink, grindstone and rice paper, as they explore Chinese writing." – Renee C of Thornton, CO

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.
