Experiencing Sonlight books together as a family has bonded us in a special way. The books have become old friends that we love to revisit. This photo was taken on a vacation day when I found my kids gathered around their older sister, listening to her read one of our favorites. My children are friends and they have these wonderful books in common. Sonlight has been true to its 'love to learn' guarantee. Katie (15), Lizzie (13), Abigail (11) and John (8) are studying Core 200, Core 100 and Core D in their eleventh year of Sonlight.

Sonlight curriculum was the perfect choice for our family because it comes as a complete  package with every piece you need and all the planning done for you. Our family is a missionary team serving in the Bahamas, where we've spent many months aboard our 31-foot ministry sailboat. We've been using Sonlight with our daughters for approximately 7,000 nautical miles and are fully equipped for our boatschool, even in remote settings with no access to libraries or internet. As we sail along or sit in anchorage, we eagerly listen to the Read-Alouds or other elements of the curriculum, and have built our faith, knowledge and family unity in the process. Now in their fifth Sonlight year, Rachel (10) and Stella (8) are studying Core D.

The Sonlight Core programs have made homeschooling multiple grades manageable and affordable. The Instructor's Guides are AMAZING! They have given me the tools and confidence to educate my children and time to enjoy my family. We are a military family, so multiple moves have meant multiple schools. Finding Sonlight has been a major blessing. Our children love having time together to learn. The enthusiasm they have for homeschooling and the bond we're growing as a family are beyond our dreams! Here, even Emmy the dog is captivated by a chapter from Om-kas-toe. In their first year of homeschooling, Maxwell (11), Lily (9) and Maggie (5) are studying Core D+E, Grade 3 Readers with Language Arts, and Grade K Readers with Language Arts.
