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.

We all love Sonlight for so many reasons, but one of the main reasons is that our kids have time to be KIDS! I'm so thankful that with the carefully laid-out schedule and quality Christ-based education, we can get a solid education and still have time for unstructured, creative play. Not only do they have time for academics, but they also have time to explore God's creation firsthand, not just in a book between overscheduled activities. Here, Steven (7, Core B) and Megan (4, Core A) do just that!

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.
