NHEG’s Support for the Classic Learning Test
NHEG is happy to support and bring awareness to a new college entrance exam that focuses on classical learning and it is called the Classic Learning Test. We hope that it will replace the SAT and ACT exam for home-school, classical school or private Christian school families. If you are concerned about questions based on Common Core standards appearing on college entrance exams and have a child who was planning to take the SAT and ACT exams, then this is the answer you’ve been looking for. The Classic Learning Test (CLT) is a fast-growing, new college entrance exam option. HSLDA even provide a 20% discount off the cost of the exam for its members.
We are looking forward to having someone from Classic Learning Initiatives (CLI) on an upcoming radio show. The overall goal of Classic Learning Initiatives (CLI), the organization behind the CLT, is to repair the disconnect between intellectual pursuits and virtue. CLI believes the ancient Greek philosophers stressed the same basic ideas about education that many homeschooling parents hold to today. CLI believes that the way students learn to think, what they read, and how they live are all intricately connected. According to CLI, one reason that mainstream education in America is failing is that the pursuit of virtue, as traditionally understood, has been lost. CLT attempts first to quantify both the knowledge and the virtue your student has attained and then present that to colleges.
CLI also believes that those who have been educated without using the Common Core standards should not have to be measured by those standards. The CLT is specifically designed for students, especially those who are homeschooled and independently educated, who wish to demonstrate their knowledge, abilities and potential to college admission officers without wasting time and money reviewing Common Core materials. The test will be given in Defiance, Ohio at ProMedica Defiance Regional Hospital in the Maumee and Auglaize Rooms on November 12, 2016 and in 2017 on January 7, March, 18, and May 20th.
