Sonlight Homeschool Curriculum is the Best !!
What is it about homeschool curriculums that drive us all nuts? Well let's see what makes it so difficult to pick one out ---
-
There are many, many to select from!
-
They are not exactly cheap!
-
To some extent, the curriculum shapes the student's learning experience.
While
being homeschooled, we used about 3 or 4 different sets of curriculum
over 5 years. I don't think it would be fair to go on about the
curriculums I did not really care for, but I will tell you which
curriculum I simply loved-
I honestly think the Sonlight
homeschool curriculum was the best thing that ever happened to my
education. The basis of Sonlight's curriculum is the large selection of
books that the student (and teacher) read. Literature and history come
through in spades.
I think the two years I spent with
Sonlight curriculum gave me the most complete selection and
interpretation of historical events I have had through my schooling
career. Even after a few years of college, I still prefer the learning
process and results I had with Sonlight curriculum.
However, I
do realize that Sonlight curriculum is not for everyone. For instance,
it is very heavy on reading in particular. For those who do not like
reading and want to read a bare minimum, I would suggest you avoid
Sonlight. Furthermore, Sonlight is a Christian based homeschool
curriculum. While it is not particularly stringent, and the majority of
the reading is non-Christian, the guide book and the world view
presented is particularly Christian (on an evangelical basis, not any
particular denomination). It is a time consuming curriculum, but I
enjoyed the large majority of the reading.
I guess it is pretty
obvious that I think Sonlight curriculum is fantastic. I honestly could
go on and on, but I think it might save us both some time if you just
checked out their website, at www.sonlight.com
