Sonlight's is designed for interaction and discussion. Though we have designed the junior and senior high school programs for a fair amount of independent study, we expect you to provide your son or daughter with your own unique viewpoints and perspectives. We do not expect you to hand our program to your children and expect them to do it on their own. We include too many topics for discussion, issues that really do require your steadying hand and thoughtful input.
We've done as much of the preparatory work for you as we possibly can so almost every minute of your time can be spent in direct, face-to-face interaction with your children. But if you intend to do the complete curriculum, including Science, Math and Language Arts, Sonlight requires of you the kind of time commitments mentioned at the head of each year's Core description. We've included a quick and general overview of the estimated time requirements below.
The general time requirement estimates are listed in our catalog. Please note that parent time represents direct involvement. Children need their parents to be available for questions beyond the time listed.
