Testimonials

Mandy F.

Homeschool Parent

“This is by far the best testing experience our family has ever had, and now I get to use it with my younger kids too! Thank you for such a wonderful resource, and for making it so accessible to homeschooling families!”

Paul Trible

Former President of Christopher Newport University

“As a former United States Senator and President of Christopher Newport in Virginia for the past 22 years, I believe that higher education must enrich minds and stir hearts and instruct and inspire students to live lives of meaning, consequence, and purpose.

Christopher Newport is thrilled to see a renewed focus on the humanities and a renaissance of classical education throughout America. We recognize that CLT is playing an important role in this renewal, and therefore, I am excited to announce that Christopher Newport University will be the first major public university in the U.S. to adopt the CLT as an admissions standard.”

Keith Nix

Head of School, Veritas School (Richmond, VA)

“Having been involved in the (classical) liberal arts renewal movement for over 15 years, I can say with confidence that the arrival of the CLT test, and the team behind it, is one of the most exciting developments I have seen to-date. The CLT addresses two of our greatest challenges: meaningfully assessing our students in accordance with what and how they are taught, and demonstrating the academic strength of a true classical liberal arts education. I pray and expect that this will be a key tool in the continued disruption of the status quo.”
