"Sonlight makes school so easy for Mom," writes Tracy R of Hillsboro, MO. "All the planning is already done for me! They keep school interesting for my boys with a variety of well-chosen books that make history, science, and even math exciting!" Pictured, Ronin (8, HBL B and Horizons Math) works on his Explode the Code book while Korben (5, HBL A and Horizons Math) works on his math lesson for the day. The R's have been Sonlighting for three years.

The Teacher's Guides and the well-chosen classical books are the key to Sonlight's success. I also love how they recommended other resources, like Explode the Code and Handwriting Without Tears, which work hand-in-hand with the curriculum. With Sonlight, I'm able to work with my kids on a daily basis on a continuum of excellent learning. I see my children's world expanding and it makes me excited to be their teacher. For the first time, I feel confident and comfortable with my decision to home educate. My kids finally enjoy homeschooling and I absolutely love teaching. In their third Sonlight year, John-Paul and Emelie (9 and 8, Core B+C) take their Math outdoors.

"I love that all my kids can enjoy learning history together (HBL E), and that Sonlight provides age-appropriate workbooks for various topics, allowing the older ones to help the younger ones," writes Lam B who is serving in East Asia. "My son, Joshua (7), liked the activities in Explode the Code so much, he did four lessons in one sitting when I first gave him the book. My older two kids, Caden (11) and Karina (10), are excited about their Wordly Wise books." Here, the B children settle down from trampoline jumping to do some Explode the Code! The B family has been Sonlighting for three years.
