Both are nationally-accredited and norm-referenced tests. Bortins designed the program to connect Christian homeschooling families who choose to embrace a classical education approach. For 2023, students may test online using either the Stanford-10 or CTP4 academic achievement tests. Classical Conversations was developed and founded in 1987 by Leigh Bortins, a homeschooling mother of four from North Carolina. We are always looking for new ways to test. And let’s just be honest that these parents are not so interested in education as in not-education. This is not a way to give kids an education. It’s a religious book club for parents that meets once a week.
Classical Conversations is not a curriculum. Well-qualified and experienced Test Coordinators and Proctors contract with us to provide you a relaxed and easy testing experience. Classical Conversations is a social group. Test results merely allow parent and child to celebrate progress and discover areas for growth.Īny homeschool or nor homeschool student, whether enrolled in a Classical Conversations community or not, may test with Homeschool Testing Services. We have been facilitating standardized testing for groups and individuals since 2008. Bortins, I am an alum of Classical Conversations from Foundations and Essentials to Challenge IV and am currently a rising sophomore in college. Repeated practice removes fear from the test-taking experience. For this reason, we emphasize the skill of test-taking rather than the outcome. Grab a fresh mug of coffee and sit a spell for ideas, encouragement, and to refresh your heart Why we ditched Classical Conversations. At Classical Conversations, testing is one small part of a larger vision to help parents assess the heart, mind, and soul of their children. I believe you are the gate-keeper, grace-giver, and cultivator of your home and when you step into your God-given capacity you are capable of providing a delightful and life-giving education to your children.
