We love the way Sonlight caters to different ages while incorporating our favorite pasttime – reading! No time is wasted getting schedules together and planning. Sonlight is great when we're on the go, whether on a trip to the beach or when moving to whatever country God sends us. Emily (16, Core 300), Christy (14, Core H), Joseph (11, Core G), Heidi and Johannes (5 and 3, Core P4/5) think that doing school 'down under' has never been more fun!

A key aspect of Sonlight we've enjoyed these past 12 years is the ability to integrate learning and living. Good literature is at the heart of Sonlight, and sharing books together is at the heart of our school and life as a family. Some of my favorite moments of parenting and homeschooling involve reading to my boys alongside our outdoor adventures. Immersing ourselves in history and literature has been the backbone of our many years with Sonlight. I wouldn't trade it for a minute!

"I'm heading off to college for the first time and can't help but feel a little jealous of my siblings, because they'll be doing Sonlight again this year," writes Kailey H of Marshfield, WI. "My family has loved learning so much since we started using Sonlight. History became my favorite subject, and I consumed all the books in each Core. I'm grateful for the in-depth Student Guides that forced me to think critically and caused me to formulate my own values. I feel well-prepared, and the thought of writing a college-level essay doesn't frighten me. I know I have the tools to be successful.
