Designed with homeschool families in mind, the Classic Learning Test (CLT) offers assessments that fit students of all educational backgrounds. CLT's college entrance, college preparatory, and end-of-year exams for 3rd–12th grade test foundational skills in reading, writing, grammar, and mathematics, equipping students to reach their academic goals. Homeschool families love CLT exams because they offer:
Accessible Testing
CLT exams can be taken online from the comfort of home. This means flexible testing times and frequent test dates!
Non-Common Core Content
CLT exams do not follow a specific curriculum or the public-school Common Core standards, so they are able to provide the most accurate assessment of homeschool students' knowledge and critical thinking skills. Instead, CLT exams pull from meaningful, engaging Great Books texts for their content.
College Acceptance and Scholarships
The CLT college entrance exam is recognized by colleges across the country, many of whom seek to have homeschool students attend their institution. Colleges that currently accept the CLT include highly-regarded evangelical, Catholic, and liberal arts institutions such as Franciscan University, Hillsdale College, Cedarville University, and Patrick Henry College. In addition to accepting the CLT as a college entrance exam, many colleges and universities offer scholarships based on CLT results.
Comprehensive Reporting
All CLT exams provide in-depth analytics reports that give educators the information they need to enhance their student's education and provide a pathway for success.
