We Don’t Teach to the Test

Another season of testing is complete and the results are very encouraging. Country Lane Classroom has been in existence for three years. During that time, a number of our students have taken the required homeschool assessments that test students’ knowledge of Reading, Language, and Mathematics. ALL of our students have passed their homeschool tests, the vast majority of them in the top 15th percentile nationally. These positive results are a testament to the hard work, commitment, and dedication of our parents and tutors alike.

Ironically, at Country Lane Classroom, our focus has never been on test results. Our tutors do NOT “teach to the test”. It is our perspective that if you allow a child to learn at his own rate, teach him to think, and encourage him to love learning, he will succeed. We believe these results support this approach to education.
Furthermore, even more important than test results, our children are in a place where they are loved and cared for. They are learning how to become young men and women of character and wisdom. Our tutors model and encourage in them a love of life-long learning. Ultimately, these are our goals and our measure of success.
