The Old Schoolhouse Magazine recognizes Sonlight Curriculum, Ltd., a leading homeschool curriculum provider, as the Best Overall Homeschool Company.

Littleton, CO (PRWEB) February 4, 2005 -- Sonlight Curriculum, Ltd., has been awarded the Excellence Award for the 2004 Best Overall Homeschool Company in the January 2005 edition of Old Schoolhouse magazine. The Littleton, Colo., company was chosen because of its "curriculum design and excellence in delivering quality educational materials at a tremendous value to homeschoolers."

Sonlight emphasizes the importance of great literature rather than the textbooks and workbooks used in typical public school classrooms. Sonlight offers a variety of literature-based homeschooling programs that include all of the required subjects as well as elective courses. The programs are designed for a broad range of ages, from preschool all the way up through high school.

Sarita Holzmann, President of the firm, said, "We're very proud to be recognized as a leader in homeschooling curriculum. The real winners, though, are the parents who have used our guidance to instill a lifelong love of learning in their children."

The homeschool market has exploded in recent years as more and more parents choose to homeschool their children as an alternative to public or private school options. With test scores falling despite greater public awareness and efforts, homeschooling is becoming increasingly attractive to a lot of families.
   
Holzmann also noted, "Homeschooling is not for everybody. But for those that choose to homeschool, we're confident that our curriculum can meet the educational needs of the child as well as the instructional needs of the parent."

Sonlight's proprietary Instructor's Guides help new homeschool parents to get started quickly. The guides include daily schedules and many teaching notes that enable new homeschoolers to achieve educational success with their children.

Sonlight Curriculum Ltd., a unit of InquisiCorp, serves homeschoolers in all 50 states and over 150 countries worldwide. The year 2005 marks the company's 15-year anniversary. www.sonlight.com
