Five students from Chesterton Academy of St. Benedict have been named Midwest Regional Scholars by the Classic Learning Test (CLT), based on their performance on the CLT10, a college preparatory exam and alternative to the PSAT.
Regional Scholars are freshmen or sophomores who scored in the top 5% of their respective U.S. region. The honorees are Audrey Bellaire, Ave Holowchak, Kolbe Krzeczkowski, Sebastian Neal, and Joseph Taylor.
The CLT assesses student aptitude in grammar, literary comprehension, and mathematical reasoning, drawing from great thinkers of the Western tradition that inspire love of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. The test is designed to measure what students learn and practice in Chesterton Academy classrooms. More than 350 colleges and universities accept CLT scores as part of their admissions process, and many have tied scholarships directly to a student’s CLT score.
