Our family enjoys learning about the many cultures and different ways of life around the world that Sonlight provides. The literature that accompanies each Core is wonderful and the selections are made with extreme care. The questions open up another world for the children to ponder and discuss as they work their way through the books. Our family enjoys the time we spend together making learning enjoyable and exciting. After reading Walk the Worlds Rim, we headed to Mesa Verde to explore the cliff dwellings and do some investigating of our own. In the family's fourth Sonlight year, Ronnie (9), Reegan (7) and Abigail (11) are studying Cores D and E.

There are many reasons we choose Sonlight each year: We love the books, the Christ-centered curriculum and we really do love to learn! One of my prayers for homeschooling was that  our children would have fun while learning together. Sonlight helped answer that prayer by providing great Readers, Read-Alouds, History lessons, Science experiments and Bible memory verses set to music that we can enjoy together. On this beautiful summer day, they took some of their favorite books outside to enjoy with each other. In their fifth Sonlight year, Karli (5) is using Core A with Language Arts 1 and Samantha (8) is using Core D. They're studying Science A and E together.

Three older children who used Sonlight have already graduated and were well-prepared for college. We have homeschooled all nine of our children all the way through high school. We were thrilled to discover Sonlight ten years ago. It fits well with the way we always homeschooled – read alouds, history through biographies and historical fiction, grouping our children together as much as possible. Our children are all avid readers, and finding them in unusual places or positions totally engrossed in a book is not at all uncommon. Here, Debra's youngest child Jadon (8) finds an interesting way to soak up a book. He is studying Core D this year as two older siblings use Core 300.
