Nine years later, I see my kids loving to learn on their own and knowing HOW to do that! When I first learned about Sonlight, I thought, 'Yes! This is what I've been looking for!' The two areas that stand out most are: 1) They know how to write and express themselves well, and 2) They understand history and how it all fits together in a way that I never learned. Where Readers are concerned, Angela (12, Core F) loves finding herself up a tree on a sunny day.  

I call these times 'Sonlight Moments' because without Sonlight I don't believe that my children would learn together like this. Maeann recruited her siblings to help with one of her chemistry labs. Here they are smiling their cheesy smiles because of the flood they are making in the kitchen. We are starting our 10th year of homeschooling, our 6th year with Sonlight. Thanks for all the wonderful books you provide for our family to learn and live with! Sonlight is such a beautiful, big part of our life. This year, Maeann (16) is studying Core 300 and Ian (13) is using Core 200, while Clara (11) and Peter (9) share Core F.

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.
