In Holland, Michigan, the Outdoor Discovery Center (ODC) Network is offering a way forward.

Jurgen Overhoff’s George Washington and Frederick the Great: Parallel Lives (Princeton, 2026) shows how two great leaders had different ethics of leadership that helped to create two different political cultures.

Founded in 2015, the Classic Learning Test (CLT) includes standards that its competitors abandoned years ago. The test features reading passages from authors who shaped Western thought, including Homer, Galileo Galilei, William Shakespeare, Henry David Thoreau, Frederick Douglass and G.K. Chesterton. The accompanying questions require careful analysis rather than superficial pattern recognition, which is a feature of the SAT and ACT. Students are barred from using a calculator for the math section. Read More ›
