About this Workshop

There are many myths and misconceptions surrounding homeschooling. If you’ve wondered about them yourself or had others ask you if those things are really true, we’ll tell you how homeschooling really stacks up—socialization, parent qualifications, academic performance, opportunities, and more.

Presenters

Sunny Raybern

Sonlight Community Manager

Sunny has loved books as long as she can remember. Her own parents discovered Sonlight at a convention and knew the literature and history focus would be perfect for her. She never planned to homeschool her own children past pre-k, but when her daughter learned to read, she was hooked. She has educated both of her children entirely with Sonlight. In her spare time, Sunny enjoys reading (of course), musicals, hiking, and being in or near water.

Amber Severance

Sonlight Mentor

Before becoming a wife and mom, Amber Severance was a high school teacher and coach at a private school in San Jose, CA. She has been homeschooling since 2002 when her oldest child began pre-k with Sonlight. Amber has five children – a graduate student, a nurse in training, a college student, a high school senior, and a 7th grader. Because of her husband's graduate schooling and employment, she has had the opportunity to homeschool in four different states. Currently living in Lynchburg, VA, Amber is a full-time homemaker who enjoys encouraging moms as a Sonlight mentor and Sonlight convention consultant. She also loves serving in various ways at her church and leading a ladies' bible study.

Christie Cook

Homeschool Mom, Sonlight Consultant & Mentor

Christie first encountered Sonlight Curriculum in 1997 when she was teaching the children of another family overseas. As a former classroom teacher, she was so impressed with the curriculum that in 2009 she made it her choice for educating her four sons. She and her husband have been married for twenty-two years and have been homeschooling with Sonlight for the past 14. They have utilized Sonlight programs from preschool to high school. Through the years they have enjoyed watching each of their boys develop a variety of interests and strengths based on their unique personalities and their learning with Sonlight. This year they will have a middle schooler, two high schoolers, and a college student. Their second oldest will graduate this spring! Christie enjoys meeting and encouraging homeschooling families and helping them find solutions for the homeschool journey!
