CLT for Homeschool 

Standardized Testing for Homeschool Students

The CLT suite of assessments are standardized tests that measure a student’s academic formation, accomplishment, and potential. Relying on rich texts written by history’s greatest thinkers, CLT is a perfect fit for homeschool families.

Tests That Align With Your Educational Choice

Homeschool students deserve a test that respects their educational choice. CLT is not tied to any particular scope or sequence but instead assesses the main indicators of educational success like reading comprehension, writing conventions, and mathematical reasoning.

The CLT8 and CLT10, our standardized tests for 7th-10th grade students, satisfy testing requirements for homeschool families in most states.

“Since I am a home schooled student, I have taken standardized tests before. As for the test questions, they were very straightforward and I really appreciated the content and passage selections. They were actually interesting and not weird and confusing as a traditional test seems to be. Overall, great experience and I would totally take the CLT again!”

“This is a great exam which tests thinking skills, not just memorization. I’m thrilled that you have made testing possible for students who aren’t enrolled in schools…I really think this is a great test and does a much better job of looking at critical thinking skills etc. which are so important.”
