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 meaningful and timeless primary sources from the Great Books tradition, CLT provides 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Designed for homeschool families like yours.

 

In recent years CLT has become the preferred assessment provider for thousands of homeschool families and co-op groups. Relying on rich texts written by history’s greatest thinkers, CLT exams are a perfect fit for classical curricula and feature diverse subject matter such as:

  • Historical/Founding Documents
  • Philosophy/Religion
  • Literature
  • Science
  • Ancient, Medieval, and Modern Thinkers

Free resources for homeschool students and families.

 

In addition to assessments, CLT offers free educational resources to strengthen your liberal arts education. Our podcast, Anchored, is the leading podcast at the intersection of education and culture, featuring thinkers like Cornel West, Robert P. George, Angel Adams, and more.

 

The CLT Journal features brief essays on the great authors, books, and ideas of our educational tradition. These essays are composed by CLT staff and guest contributors, including both professional scholars and our own top students.

Our live seminar series, Journey Through the Author Bank, invites students, parents, and all fellow learners to unlock the history and ideas behind influential authors in the Western tradition. Led by professors from our partner colleges and universities, each seminar explores a new thinker from the CLT Author Bank.
