Sonlight is not just our curriculum, it's our connection as a family. This was our first year with Sonlight, and let me just say, we LOVE it! Since our children are close in age, it has been such a blessing to combine them into the same Core. It has been so much fun to watch the close bond develop between them over the past year. With quality pieces of literature, the stories come to life! These shared experiences have developed a love of learning that will last a lifetime. And for that, my heart is thankful. Here, they share a favorite book (The Lion Storyteller Bedtime Book, from P4/5) at a favorite park. What better way to spend a summer evening?

As an educator in the community college system, I used to poll my students to see the best way to educate my children - private, (not public), or homeschool.  Invariably the homeschooled youth were the most diligent and respectful of the lot.  I researched until I found Sonlight 14 years ago - and so we began our journey.  Since then I have more than fallen in love with Sonlight - as have my original 4 daughters, and our newer adopted daughter/sister.  The five have bonded more than I could never have imagined, while always increasing their love for the Lord and his awsome world.  Sonlight has been a major catalyst carrying me (and the girls) through single parenthood and back into the stability of a fuller family.  They love using their dramatic flair in bringing what we learn to life - as seen in their rendition of US History in this picture.  Thank you Sonlight for bringing us the best, the most interesting, and uplifting curriculum out there - one we don't have to be cautious about before jumping into a good book!  Three cheers for Sonlight!

Does Sonlight really develop a love for learning? You bet Emma reads in the morning, afternoon and just before bedtime. Here, she just HAD to start a new book ... prior to breakfast, getting dressed or doing her morning chores. How could I say no to this insatiable love for reading that Sonlight has helped develop? Sonlight has helped our first three years of homeschooling be a blessing and success! School is fun, not boring, and the books are so exciting. Eight-year-old Emma is diving into Core C this year as little sister Audrey starts on P3/4.
