Sonlight Curriculum offers the cream of the crop in literature based curriculum with outstanding reading books and is one of the most comprehensive programs for moms who want to focus on the world, its people and cultures.

Sonlight has a profoundly Christian approach to education using many biographies of those men and woman who were obedient to God’s calling to reach the lost populations of this world.

Through their teacher’s guides and reading books, I can achieve the requirements that I want my children to have, being:

A heart for the those who do not know about Jesus Christ

Grounding in God's word

A vast knowledge of world geography and history through literature

Superior language skills through a natural acquirement system

Good maths skills

Computer skills

Scientific knowledge through literature and experiments

For me as the mom who is overseeing their learning processes, these are the major benefits for my home:

It gives me the tools for teaching them about God’s world & people

It meets my educational goals for my children

Sonlight offers some of the most stunning living books to be found

The science kits that Sonlight Curriculum supplies contains everything that we need for each experiment we need to do.

They have an extensive enrichment section which provides materials for computer studies, foreign language, art and craft, music and art appreciation.

They have a schedule for me so that all the planning is done

As I don’t have to plan my own lessons, we have a lot of free time after work is done to explore other delights

I can buy a whole package or just pick and choose

I have a choice of handwriting and maths programs to choose from.

They have special offers and discounts

Sonlight has very helpful private forums to assist and encourage you in your task of homeschooling and parenting.

Potential pitfalls:

Moms who feel the need to do everything in the parent's guides will feel overwhelmed. Growing confidence in homeschooling will eliminate this need.

It is rated as one of the more expensive literature based curriculum available, but in practice it works out to be very reasonable as most of the products are non- consumable.

There are not huge amounts of hands-on-learning ideas scheduled. We have found though, that our children create their own hands on learning opportunities when they connect with their subject.

But all is not lost...I have created some wonderful free Sonlight hands-on activities to go with each section of your studies.

Sonlight Curriculum breaks learning into sections as follows:

Core: Bible, History, Geography, Read Alouds, Readers

Sonlight has continued to delight our children (and me) with their resources. They cater for all areas that a growing mind and body need at different stages in their learning and life. Visit Sonlight's website to see the ages and grade descriptions online.
