Three PHC alumni employed at The Classic Learning Test
Ever wonder what PHC students do after graduating? Some of our alums go into strategic intelligence work in D.C. employed by the government or defense contractors, work for political campaigns, go into ministry, or write for national publications. Still others pass down the legacy of classical learning they experienced at PHC.
PHC alumni Sarah Reeves (Strategic Intelligence ‘20), Grace Bennett (Literature ‘21), Rachel Hankinson (Literature ‘21), and current student Anne Marie Ault (Classical Liberal Arts ‘23) work at the Classic Learning Test, an alternate standardized testing platform that emphasizes intellectual aptitude, grounded in the liberal arts tradition.
The Classic Learning Test (CLT) seeks to provide assessments that reconnect knowledge and virtue. The CLT tests intellectual aptitude and achievement while pulling from the classical canon, testing on the greatest, most enduring texts that have shaped Western Civilization. The CLT provides standardized exams that are 100% online and open to students of any educational background.
“Testing can be such a stressful, negative experience for children,” Rachel says. “It certainly was for me! Part of CLT’s mission is to create humane tests that are a blessing to children, rather than a stressor.”
Rachel found that the education and opportunities as a Literature major at PHC prepared her as the CLT’s Test Development Associate.
“I think the main component of my PHC education that equipped me for this role,” Rachel says, “was the creation, project management, writing, and assembly that I did for Westmarch, PHC’s literary journal.”
