My daughter has an understanding of history and geography that goes beyond that of most adults. She loves to read and has a vocabulary much larger than one would expect for her age. A large part of this is because of the great Sonlight books. We love using Sonlight because I am confident that all the planning is done for me. I don't have to scramble to make sure I am covering each time period adequately. Krystal (12) has used Sonlight since first grade. Here, she enjoys a Science G experiment where she identifies powders by testing their reaction to different substances.

We have used Sonlight Curriculum for a decade! We love the great literature, flexible structure, and opportunity for all our girls to grow in their unique abilities. We save each Core for our youngest and when she completes it, we have a family gathering and review each book and decide which books need to stay on as part of our permanent family library. Our library is growing with fantastic literature that also has beautiful family memories attached to each book. Katie says that homeschooling has allowed their family bonds to flourish.

"We have enjoyed homeschooling our two boys for the last 10 years, all with Sonlight," writes Carrie S of Wooster, OH. "Our older son is a new Sonlight graduate and will be attending the college of his dreams this fall. Our 12-year-old, pictured, loves the hands-on experiments scheduled in the Science programs. Here, he made a parallel cut. Sonlight not only prepares students for life after high school, but also gives families a resilient bond through sharing thought-provoking literature and great discussions."
