"I dare say there are not many curriculum choices out there that would cause your kids to pull out the 'school books' even when school is not in session, just because they enjoy them so much!" writes Leslie S of Raleigh, NC. "Aimee (6), Aaron (8), and Anna (4) read and reread the 'school books' fresh out of the box from Sonlight, when scheduled in our Core program, and then again many times after that, simply because they have enjoyed them so much. They have a tremendous love for books and we attribute much of that to the outstanding books that Sonlight selects for us each year. We love the flexibility of Sonlight and how the book selections can be enjoyed by a wide age range. It makes doing school together as a family so much easier and more enjoyable." The S family is using Core A and Core C in their third year of Sonlight.

It's incredible to see excitement on the girls' faces as history becomes so much more than just reading a book. As missionaries, we have a special love for the people here. Through Sonlight, our kids are learning about and loving people from all over the world. This year we got to visit many of the sights we learned about in Incas, Aztecs, Mayans. The ruins, temples, llama farm and scenery had meaning because of what we read. We love the world view from high (10,000 ft.) in the Andes Mountains, where we sit and study every morning, and we love the worldview Sonlight brings us every day! Colette (10, Core F) and Solana (8, Core C) have been exploring the world with Sonlight for six years.
 

"Sonlight has helped us create a new family culture around fantastic literature. We love having amazing books for our kids to read. We now live in a country [Fiji] where books are not readily available, libraries are sparse and there are very few stores with children's books available. The Read-Alouds became our family entertainment and provided something routine and rich for our family as we transitioned into life overseas [as missionaries for Youth With a Mission]. We're so grateful for the quality, depth and worldview Sonlight provides. The excitement of having great stories at our fingertips has moulded our family into lifelong learners!"
