ccmom Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I am interested to know thoughts on Sonlight. Has anyone switched to Sonlight from Calvert? I know Calvert is secular and Sonlight is not. I'd appreciate any commentary on either curriculum. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam "SFSOM" in TN Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I did, many years ago, from year one and two of Calvert with ATS to Core 3 of Sonlight. It was a good move. And we used Sonlight secularly (that was before there were tons and tons of discussion questions and guided thinking). Our religious teaching was accomplished with private devotional stuff, Awana, and church. I had major issues with Bible being a school "subject." So it wasn't much different in that regard. Calvert is great, but Sonlight was a very good change for us. (I have to say that I'm very glad I did Calvert first, though. It made me realize how much was "enough" in the day, whereas with Sonlight, it's easy to *majorly* overdo the workload if you're the type (like me) who feels that you must check off all the boxes. My two years with Calvert helped me use Sonlight more effectively.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
