Benefits of CLT Assessments
A true education inspires. A test should be no different.
If education is truly one of life’s most important endeavors, shouldn’t tests place students in front of the most impactful and meaningful conversations across time?
By using timeless primary sources from the Great Books tradition, CLT offers tests that deliver more rigorous content and promote critical and higher-level analysis. Our CLT8 and CLT10 are norm-referenced, providing greater peace of mind for homeschool families.
