We plan to offer both the CLT and CLT10 this school year!
 
The CLT offers scholars the opportunity to earn scholarships to Classical Colleges and Universities and is specifically tailored for Classical Education. 
From the CLT website:
"The CLT is an online college entrance exam designed for 11th and 12th graders. This exam is remote proctored and taken at the student's home; we also plan to offer in-person proctoring at select test sites in the fall of 2021, and some schools administer the in-person exam to their students on "Partner Schools Only" dates. The CLT takes approximately two hours to complete, and it assesses English, mathematical, and critical reasoning skills. Students receive their scores within 10 business days, and they can instantly share them with an unlimited number of colleges and universities for free."
 
If you would like to take the CLT remotely from your home, please register here.
