Did we take Rosetta Stone on our holiday? Yes, we did. We decided as a family to learn Spanish and have loved how user-friendly the curriculum has been. Our family has been using Sonlight off and on for the past seven years. This year we have completely switched to Sonlight! We are so thankful to have the Instructor's Guides take us step-by-step each day through each subject. Thank you Sonlight for enabling us to learn together with a Biblical perspective. Chris (13), Jack (11), Samantha (9) and Sara (5) are using Cores H, B+C and A as little sister Katie (2) looks on. Here, they surround Dad at the cabin to learn some Spanish.

Sonlight has made a fun, challenging education possible for our children, without creating much additional work for their mother. We couldn't have successfully gotten this far without the great curriculum, wonderful books, and helpful teacher's manual that Sonlight provided. If I had to pick my favorite things about Sonlight, they would be the wonderful literature, the fact that planning and prep work are already done for me, the in-depth look at history, and the complete flexibility. Here, the G family poses on a family trip to the Badlands. This year, Beren (9) is using Core E as Helena (12) studies Core 100.  After thirteen years of Sonlight, Zach (18) has graduated and is on to Ohio State University to study entomology. 

"Sonlight offers many captivating and delightful books to its programs that keep the attention of my boys," writes Lisa W of Minnesota City, MN. "After the long, cold winters in Minnesota, we like to read outside in the spring. Along with our dogs, Misty and Sierra, and friendly chicken, Vanilla, my teenage boys still enjoy Read-Aloud time with Mom. The book I'm reading, God's Smuggler, is especially dear to my heart, as I served on an overseas mission trip in college to China with Open Doors Ministry. I feel privileged to share this personal experience with my boys as I read the story of Brother Andrew, who started Open Doors. Although homeschooling has its challenges, I cherish the time I get to spend with my boys, and Sonlight helps make that possible!"
