Thank you, Sonlight, for the great kids they are today. The camaraderie and love evident among our kids represent the values of loving learning, having fun, valuing others and Christian principles that Sonlight inspires. For our 25th anniversary, they planned a special meal and program, and even composed an ode to our marriage. I'm sure it was a result of their Sonlight upbringing! Coming back from grad school in Baltimore, school and an internship in San Diego, and on vacation from freshman year of college in Minnesota, they blessed our hearts. In their fourteenth year of Sonlight, Dina (16) is using British Literature as Micah (13) and Isaiah (12) share Core 200. Sarah, Hannah and Leah have graduated from Sonlight and are now in college or graduate school. 

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. This photo is a glimpse into 17-year-old Elizabeth's relationship with her dad. Elizabeth is graduating this year as she finishes British Literature 530. 

I discovered Sonlight 16 years ago and boy, am I glad I did! The high interest level of Sonlight books have given my active boys (and my more tranquil daughter) the opportunity to hear and learn from great books even if they couldn't sit still very long. Even in high school, we choose some books to read aloud because we enjoy books together and it has become part of our DNA. Although this photo is staged, 17-year-old Nathaniel really can maneuver a soccer ball while he reads or listens to Christie read. He is studying Core 300 and British Literature in his twelfth and final year of Sonlight. His three older siblings all used Sonlight from 6th grade through high school, graduated college, and are now working.
