Educational Savings Accounts

Education savings accounts (ESAs) allow parents to withdraw their children from public district or charter schools and receive a deposit of public funds into government-authorized savings accounts with restricted, but multiple, uses.

If you’re making your curriculum purchase using ESA funds, you can now purchase Sonlight through the programs below. Choose your state to get started.

If you don't see your state yet, check back again. We're always adding new states as more Educational Savings Programs become available.

Use your ESA funds to get your entire homeschool year in one easy package! History, math, science, and more—all scheduled and planned out for you. Just open and go!
