"I've been a homeschooling mama since 2005, and I'm thankful Sonlight has been with us each step of the way. I'm less concerned about academics these days, and more focused on the hearts of my children. I've watched how the academics have almost taken care of themselves. Most exciting, I've watched my children grow in grace and wisdom, and in love for each other and the people God places in their lives. I'm learning what's really important in this journey called Life." Here, Charis, (14, Sonlight 200) does a science experiment with Tobin and Arden (13 and 11, sharing Level G). The family has used Sonlight from the start. – Beverly J of Glenwood, IA

Sonlight is Christ-centered, well-organized, easy to teach, trustworthy, affordable, and most of all, fun! The teacher's guide is easy to follow, requiring no preparation or planning on my part. The books and materials are beautiful and Christ-centered, highlighting the unique people and creation of the world. And most importantly, my children love their school time: reading, creating, singing, and especially science project times with Daddy. I had no idea how much children learn through listening to books read aloud. It's truly amazing. Here, 3-year-old Keira confidently announces "and this is a chrysalis" to her 5-year-old sister, Naomi. Naomi is studying Core A in her second year of Sonlight as Keira listens in. 

We love Sonlight because it teaches our children to think critically about what they are learning. It challenges them to carefully consider the worldview that the media and many of their friends hold. They are learning that the biblical worldview is supported by science (among other subjects) and they are learning how to defend their faith. Sonlight also breaks us free from the 'school at home' mindset by allowing a more relaxed learning environment and encouraging discussion rather than completing lots of worksheets. Thanks Sonlight!
