    Testing with an Emphasis on Knowledge and Virtue

    Testing with an Emphasis on Knowledge and Virtue

    This month’s episode of the Global Homeschool Minute Podcast covers the topic of testing, promising to be very informative and helpful for homeschooling families. Noah Tyler tells us about the Classic Learning Test (CLT), offering an alternative to more traditional college entrance exams like the SAT and ACT, as well as testing for elementary aged students.
    For homeschooling parents, having access to a standardized assessment like the CLT, can provide assurance that their children are learning and progressing academically. Additionally, the emphasis on truth, goodness, and beauty aligns well with a homeschooling philosophy focused on knowledge and virtue.
    Noah Tyler's insights into the CLT and its acceptance across the United States and globally are valuable for parents who are considering alternative testing options or simply want to learn more about testing in the context of homeschooling.
