Does Homeschooling Work?

Does Homeschooling Work?

Meet the '06 Sonlight Scholarship Winners!

as of Feb 23, 2006, 15:20

Some of the most common questions parents have when they start homeschooling are, "How do I know it's going to work?" and, "How can I make sure my children will be prepared for college?"

While our scholarship winners won't provide you with answers to your specific situation, they do provide convincing evidence that Sonlight Curriculum works. Each scholarship winner has used an average of four Sonlight Core programs. In fact, one of the winners has used seven Core programs during his education. Based on these students' achievements, it seems that Sonlight Curriculum meets the highest standards. Among the eight 2006 scholarship winners, you'll find:

  • An average SAT score of 2180, including a score of 2290 (out of 2400).

  • Three perfect (800) and one near-perfect (790) Critical Reading score, a near-perfect Math score (790), and a near-perfect Writing (780) score on the SATs.

  • One perfect score of 36 and one near-perfect score of 35 (out of 36) in the Reading portion, and a near-perfect score of 35 in the Science portion of the SAT exam.

  • A score of 5 (out of 5) on the Advanced Placement History exam, and two scores of 5 on the Advanced Placement English Language exam.

  • Commended Student and 3 Semi-Finalists in National Merit Program.

  • Two pianists, an award-winning debater, a therapist for an autistic child, a Gold Congressional Award winner, a theatre performer, Tsunami disaster volunteer, and several overseas mission participants.

And this is just a brief list of these scholars' accomplishments!
