Core Curriculum

Enjoy the convenience of a Core curriculum package. Sonlight Curriculum offers a choice of 18 "Core" packages which integrate History, student Readers and Read-Aloud books for you and your children to enjoy together—along with Bible in Grades 6-12 (optional in K-5). You'll also get an Instructor's Guide to help you teach with confidence. Add in subjects of your choice to your Core for a complete school year made simple.

The Core program is the essential foundation for your children's education where they begin to develop a love to learn. Sonlight® uses real books as the foundation for your family's study. Fascinating titles, not dry textbooks, draw your whole family into the subject.

Sonlight uses the subject of History as the "spine" to which the other subjects connect. This history focus provides a framework for your family to better understand literature, scientific theory, philosophy, and a wide-range of other subjects and helps you see all the connections.

Why Are There So Many Core Options for Each Age Level?

As you browse the many Core programs available for you and your student(s), you might wonder why a particular Core spans several age groups or grade levels. Why doesn't Sonlight just offer one Core per level or age and be done with it? Wouldn't that make things easier for everyone?
