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 gives my children a love for learning, and if they love learning, they can succeed in whatever they decide to do in life. Great books make History and Science come alive. Through reading, their vocabulary grows and they learn proper grammar and writing. It's exciting to see them seek out more information on a subject, and for fun, reenact what they're learning. Cameron (11) and Jackson (9), in their third year of Sonlight adventures, are exploring Core F.

Last year we took our leap of faith and purchased Core F and Core A.  We had THE BEST YEAR EVER! [When I first started homeschooling,] I used Sonlight for three years and loved it. But my newness as a homeschooler and that 'grass is always greener' thought led us to another curriculum. We used it for five years and found ourselves loathing school. Feeling overwhelmed, I asked God to show me a path that would fit our family. Soon after, a Sonlight catalog showed up at our house and in conversations with other moms. Sonlight was a clear answer to prayer. Thank you for giving us back a love for learning. This year, Dakota (14, Core 100), Aspen (12, Core G), Georgia (8, Core B) and Havana (6, Core B) can't wait for school each day.
