CLT8 Placement Exam
Our pledge is to ensure that each student receives education tailored to their academic level through qualified instructors. That’s why we require all interested students to undergo a placement examination.
What is it?
The Classic Learning Test (CLT)® offers assessments based on classical education that provide a meaningful metric of students’ abilities, offering students, teachers, and parents with detailed results and scoring. Emphasizing critical thinking and problem-solving, the exam evaluates reading, grammar, and mathematics and provides a reliable and comprehensive assessment of a student’s aptitude and achievement.
Why does my student need to take it?
Results from the CLT exam enable us to assess each student's proficiency level effectively in order to guide their success.
