The "secret" about Sonlight Curriculum really comes down to our philosophy of education. We believe that most children respond more positively to great literature than they do to textbooks. Stories captivate young minds. Once a good book grabs your child's attention, you'll find that the educational process becomes relatively painless--because your child will actually want to read!
Many of our customers have stories almost identical to Janice's. She wrote to tell us, "I first started Sonlight two years ago because I thought that exposure to LOTS of books would help my daughter who hated to read, and really had a hard time at it. Now, two years later, my daughter tells me her favorite subject is reading!"
Because of our strong belief in the ability of great literature to interest and educate children, we have founded our curriculum on quality books that present content in a highly engaging fashion.

Over the years, our customers have told us what they think makes Sonlight Curriculum great. See if what they've told us makes sense for you, too.
Sonlight is chock-full of great books that make learning a wonderful adventure. Sonlight Curriculum books are chosen not merely for their academic value, but for their value as important additions to your personal family library. These are books that will not just educate, but will entertain and inspire... both your kids and you!
Sonlight's literature base makes history "come alive," thus making it memorable, exciting, and easy to learn. With a literature-based program, "you are there" to hear and see and experience the reality that textbooks only hint at. And you don't forget what you have experienced!
We've done the bulk of the work for you: we've located the best literature on the market, and coordinated and scheduled it to form a well-rounded, reasonably-paced curriculum.
