ONLINE LITERATURE-BASED HOMESCHOOLING
Sonlight's Online Homeschool Platform
Sonlight Online is a digital platform that enables Sonlight families to access their lesson plans, notes, assignments, and more online!
Sonlight Online offers two formats to cater to different learning needs. Sonlight Guides grant access to online instructor guides for Levels K to H. Meanwhile, Sonlight Virtual empowers high school students to work independently by granting them access to online instructor guides and daily auto-graded assessments. Additionally, Sonlight Virtual includes a parent account feature, enabling parents to review assessments and track their student’s academic progress with ease.
What about all the Sonlight books?
Sonlight’s physical books will never go away! As the leading Christian, literature-based curriculum utilizing physical books—living books—is, and always will be at the core of our homeschool program.
With Sonlight Online, you get the best of both worlds—the convenience of fully-planned, digital lesson plans combined with the academic excellence of a literature-based education.
What is available with Sonlight Online?
Built on the reliable Buzz Learning Management System, Sonlight Online offers three choices that provide the perfect balance of independent and parent-led study. It provides the support children need as they complete assessments independently and it is easy for parents to check their student’s work from a computer or mobile device.

What can I expect from Sonlight’s Online Homeschool Program?
Will my student get too much screen time?
Minimal. Unlike most online homeschool programs, Sonlight Online students spend their day reading engaging books, discussing questions with their parents, or working on hands-on projects and science experiments. Students only log in to their online homeschooling program to view the daily schedule and lessons, upload assignments, or view grades.
