Our Bible adventure begins September 3, 2024.
Bible-based, Bilingual Home Education
Our highest calling as parents is to train up our children in the way of the Lord, but how do we make this walk practical and meaningful to our children?
We believe this can be achieved by seeking Jesus daily!
If we take a look around, we can see there are countless distractions bombarding our children that keep them from fully connecting with Jesus.
The good news is that our children can learn to abide in God from a young age by spending time in His word, nature, work, and life experiences.
The SonLight Education Ministry curriculum provides all four branches of learning to enhance our children’s Christian walk, and Friendschool gives each family the opportunity to experience daily connections with Jesus and like-minded friends no matter where in the world they are.
The 3 Year Plan
Year 1
Throughout year 1, kids will explore all about trees, insects, flowers and butterflies.
These are not your average nature study/character building lessons.
The SonLight Education Ministry Curriculum takes families on a deep dive into God's
natural wonders with nature studies that
last 3 months in a single topic!
Year 2
Year 2, children study rocks, water, the life of birds and mammals.
Friendschoolers become experts in each
nature study area!
Week after week, they go deeper and
deeper into study and peel back layers
of God’s wonders during class and
at their own pace at home.
Year 3
Year 3, kids investigate Amphibians, gardening, the ocean world and astronomy.
In addition to nature study, weekly Bible
stories are paired with character qualities,
and each quality is revisited multiple times throughout the year This allows children
to live out character qualities in practical
ways so they become a habit of character.

Hello, I'm Teacher Ketita!
I am a certified educator with over 15 years of teaching experience who has fallen in love with the world of home learning. I believe that every parent can become their child's best teacher and set him on God’s schedule as they learn and grow.
Homeschooling my own children has allowed me to see first hand that the best early learning happens at home and at the child’s pace. Yet somehow, I noticed that of the various incredible enrichment programs we’ve come across in our homeschooling journey, none have a purposeful intention in growing kids’ relationship with Jesus through daily Bible study and character building. By God’s grace I came across SonLight Education Ministries and discovered the most complete, most impactful home education program for my family.
Now, I am on a mission to be a springing board for other families, to launch them into the wonderful experience of daily communing with God through His word.
I hope you are here to stay. You will love it here!
