I can’t wait to hear what you think of Sonlight’s two NEW programs designed for high-schoolers...

Right up front, let me admit: this message is a bit long. I have two brand new Sonlight programs to share with you, and both are "on sale" right now. Please, read only what interests you. Thanks for a bit of your time!

Sonlight Economics

Virtually all high school students in the U.S. are required to pass at least one course in Economics. Many who do well in this subject can leap ahead in their college studies with a great score on the Advanced Placement exams for Economics. Now you can use Sonlight to get there!

Sonlight College and Career Planning Kit

Of course, those last few high school courses may not worry you (or your students) nearly so much as the wide-open world of "what-ifs" that come after graduation. Are you ready to send your children off to college, or into the work force? Sonlight can help with this new College and Career Planning Kit.

Order one of the first 100 copies by 11/14/07 and save at least 10% of either package!

To celebrate the launch of both of these new programs for high-schooler (and to get more families trying it out), you can take 10% off our introductory price when you order either one by midnight (MST), November 14th, or until the first 100 copies of each program are sold.

First, let me tell you about the new complete course in modern Economics that can have your students ready for college classes and AP exams in just 18 weeks...

Your student takes a deep, balanced tour of Modern Economics—Sonlight style!

Demystify the world of Economics (macro and micro) far beyond any textbook.

Sonlight combines dynamic multimedia videos, excellent notes and interactive exercises with the Bible and modern literature for a clear, critical view of the subject. From basic theory to "Political Instability and Trade," get your students ready for success in college or Advanced Placement (AP) exams.

To create the broad, approachable program we wanted for you, Sonlight combined the next-generation multimedia Economics program from Thinkwell with Larry Alcorn’s biblically-based Money, Possessions and Eternity and a delightful "economic romance," The Invisible Heart by Russell Roberts.

And yes, students will use their Bibles, too! What is God’s "take" on our modern-day theories and values? Your students will ponder many spiritual questions as they pursue a well-rounded, biblical view of Economics.

Sonlight’s Economics applies the best teaching resource we’ve found for the subject, a powerful computer-based program by Thinkwell. This comprehensive study of Economics (macro and micro) features a fascinating combination of multimedia CD-ROM lectures and Internet-based applications.

Dynamic, interactive animations. Full-color, illustrated review notes. Automatically graded exercises. Thinkwell co-founder Dan Heath created his company on the inpiration of his college Economics teacher, Professor Steven Tomlinson, Ph.D. Now, Tomlinson will teach your students, too!

Yes! Sonlight Instructor's Guide is included!

The Sonlight Economics program includes an exclusive Instructor's Guide complete with a 5-day schedule for the half year (18 weeks) course. We’ve also packed it with "teaching" notes, lots of reading-based questions for your students (plus answers in the Guide), thought-provoking questions to get them writing in their journal (also included in the program), plus TWO complete lesson plans—one for general study and a more in-depth schedule for preparing your student to take the AP exams.

Sonlight’s new College and Career Planning Kit

Helps your high-schoolers map the life of their dreams

We designed Sonlight’s College and Career Planning Kit is designed just for you. We put the best books and most solid resources on college and career in one package and created a companion guide to walk you through the planning process with your high-schooler (or high-schooler to be).

Every high-schooler should read these books. The research is solid, and all the topics are actually relevant to what homeschoolers need. Your students will love reading the stories of successful homeschool graduates… where they are now and how they got there.

In this three-piece package, you’ll get two carefully selected books: Finding the Career that Fits You by Larry Burkett and Lee Ellis and Homeschoolers’ College Admissions Handbook by Cafi Cohen. You’ll also get Sonlight's exclusive Career Planning Guide (similar to a Sonlight Instructor’s Guide, with lots of extra resources) by Kelly Lutman, a seasoned homeschool mom and Sonlight Curriculum Advisor.

Get an eternal perspective on college and career planning:

You care, not just about what your children do for a living one day, but what kind of people they will be. You should know the College and Career Planning materials offer a biblical perspective on life and work. This program will encourage your children to think about who God created them to be and how they can tap into their one-of-a-kind gifts and talents.

Sonlight’s kit inspires students to make the most of life…

The information in Sonlight’s kit could make your students’ college and career experience much more meaningful. The books will cause them to ask—and answer—key questions that could shape their lives to be more fulfilling. Who wants to just earn a paycheck and get by from day to day? Sonlight’s kit will inspire them to make the most of life and uncover their unique purposes.

They'll take self-quizzes to help them determine what kinds of jobs might be their best fit, how they learn and what they value most. Your kids will find insights on their learning styles and personalities that are so interesting, they may have to stop you from keeping this book for yourself!

Benefit from books tailored just for homeschoolers like you!

Sonlight’s College and Career Planning resources are tailored just for homeschoolers. These are tools to meet your unique needs as a homeschooler, written by homeschool moms who actually identify with your questions and concerns.

Get expert advice at a critical time

College and career planning can be intimidating. But with the right tools, this process offers potential for you and your children to learn so much about their talents, dreams and goals…and actually reach them! Sonlight’s College and Career Planning Kit breaks your long-term planning down into simple steps, so you never have to feel overwhelmed. This program can be your “roadmap” from high school to career.

When you consider that the decisions you and your children make now will influence so much of their life direction, it makes sense to have some expert advice to guide them to make decisions that are right for their future and for your family.

Meet your personal College and Career Planning coach:

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a veteran homeschool mom help you:

• Create the kind of transcript colleges want to see?
• Learn to present homeschooling in a positive light to admissions officers?
• Write an admissions essay that will wow any college?
• Understand financial aid (do you know how FAFSA and Stafford Loans work, or know how to find the most relevant scholarships for your kids?)?

Or what about help with career goals? Would you like someone to lead the way as your children:

• Figure out the types of jobs where they might excel?
• Think about the values that are important to them, both in a college choice and in a job?
• Uncover their natural strengths and weaknesses with personality tests?

You need a guide you can trust—that will also save you time!

This program might save you and your family quite a bit of time and tears. Sonlight’s College and Career Planning Kit gives you a broad look at what to expect beyond elementary school and lays out a plan to organize it with ready-to-use worksheets and a step-by-step calendar.

We'll help you handle the deluge of paper that comes with high school and college—from transcripts to recommendation letters, to admissions essays, to job applications. And you don’t even have to come up with a system to handle it!

These tools will guide your students in personal growth with Kingdom vision!

If you want to make the most of this time to help your children mature and prepare for the future, Sonlight’s new package is the best tool I’ve seen to guide this kind of personal growth with a vision for God’s Kingdom.

The new College and Career Planning Kit from Sonlight is $49.95. I know, this seems a small investment when you consider the hours of research and thousands of dollars of college costs you might save, not to mention how crucial good advice at this stage in life can be!

Don't miss out on this great resource, or your 10% discount!

You could start to reap the benefits from this program immediately. You don’t want to miss a day of personal discovery for your children or wait another minute to find out how a little planning can go a long way. Besides, if you’re one of the first 100 to buy Sonlight’s College and Career Planning Kit before midnight (Mountain Standard Time) on November 14th, you get to tack on another 10% off (who wouldn’t want to save extra?)!!

I want you to have the best possible journey to college and career with your students. Don’t let this opportunity slip by!

With Sonlight, your high-schoolers can be more prepared than ever for what they need to know in college.
