Sonlight has helped our family learn that education is not something that happens during a particular time or in a particular place. While the military has allowed us to experience learning in some unique places, it's our commitment to being a Sonlight family that has provided the best possible means of helping our kids love to learn, no matter where they are! If it weren't for Sonlight's relaxed approach and emphasis on sharing good literature together, I could all too easily lean toward being a check-the-boxes homeschooling mom, trying to conform my kids to an educational formula. The family started with Sonlight in 2005. When they took a recent day-trip to Cuma, it seemed apropos for Charis (12, Core F) to revisit an earlier Core favorite.

After 10 years of homeschooling, I ordered Sonlight Core F. It was so much easier than my previous years of trying to piece things together on my own! My oldest was at the high end of the age range, and my next daughter a little young … and we totally enjoyed it! We didn't do every book, but we learned so much. To have everything laid out with the Instructor's Guide was a blessing and breath of fresh air! Curriculum is a tool to help us homeschool effectively and Sonlight works wonderfully! Here, Olivia (14), Grace (10), Amelia (7) and Abbey (5) enjoy the biography of missionary Hudson Taylor.

Sarita picks only the best of the best, and they captivate my children's attention. By the pond, at the playground or before bed – reading is fun, especially with Sonlight books! They're always asking me to read 'just one more.' Every now and then, big brother James will take a turn and read aloud to them. That's what I like about Sonlight: strong relationships are made stronger through reading together. James (13, Core F), Keturah and Elorah (6 and 5, P4/5 Multi-Subject) have been bonding together with Sonlight for four years.
