After having used Sonlight for Kindergarten through 12th grade, my son is a critical thinker and can have an intelligent conversation with anyone (even with others whose beliefs don't line up with his)," writes Barbara W of Red Oak, TX. "He knows what he believes and WHY! (Thank you Sonlight!) I'm thankful that my son used Sonlight's Understanding the Times curriculum in high school, and was able to learn and study different worldviews. We also used Sonlight's logic books, and he is very good at detecting baloney! Results? He received a full scholarship from a large university. Here, 19-yearold Dustin poses for a Senior picture. He's used Sonlight Cores A through 530 in his twelve years of Sonlight.
Sonlight came so highly recommended by others I almost thought it was too good to be true. But it has been worth every penny of our hard-awarded dollars for this frugal farm family and has blessed us beyond measure," writes Sarah W of Jamestown, ND, whose family has faced several crises recently. "These past two years have been so trying, but each day I had this overwhelming sense of relief as I opened my lesson plans and, of course, studying God's word is front and center, keeping us on track." Here, Charlotte (9) and Molly (7) soak up their learning in their favorite reading spot on their family's farm.
Sonlight helps to connect the generations! My mom hold a degree in graphic arts design. She was thrilled to see our "Mark Kistler Draw Squad" book. The boys were thrilled to have their "grammy" teach them a few art lessons from the book. What a joy to share Sonlight with the extended generations in our family!

Learning a new language is so fun and easy, your whole family can enjoy the experience!
Game-like natural method lets you set the pace, and makes you want to keep going...
Of all the foreign language programs we've tried — and we've tried a lot of them — Rosetta Stone is the only one that has motivated our kids to keep studying the language on their own. Why? Because it's fun! And not just fun — it's almost addicting.
But beyond the program's amazing motivational powers, what has me hooked is the "dynamic immersion" approach. We learn our first language by immersion. As children we see how language relates objects and make the connection.
This is very different from translation work. When I took Spanish in high school, I found myself translating from Spanish to English and then coming up with the answer. But Rosetta Stone skips the translation step by helping you associate new words with ideas and things rather than English words.
Dynamic Immersion: Red Ball
Each program is roughly equivalent to one year of high school foreign language study or one semester of college study.

When should your children start learning a foreign language?
Because foreign language is often presented only as an elective at the high school level, many people assume that young children are not ready to learn a foreign language.
But that assumption is simply not true. Young children learn new languages far faster and easier than the majority of adolescents and adults do.
At Sonlight, we strongly recommend that students learn a foreign language beginning by sixth grade at the latest, and preferably sooner than that.
Many colleges have a foreign language admissions requirement: prospective students must have successfully completed at least two years' foreign language study at the high school level.
Even if you have no interest in college-level education or see no direct and practical application for language study, the truth is, learning a foreign language is good intellectual exercise. You will certainly walk away from a study of foreign language knowing English better than you did before!
All of these factors together lead us to do what educators down through the centuries have done: strongly recommend that students learn a foreign language beginning by sixth grade, at least.
