After SAT and ACT Cancel, Registrations Soar for Classical Education Exam

An alternative college admissions test, used by some Christian schools, draws a record 50,000 students.

The Classic Learning Test (CLT), a niche college entrance exam aspiring to bring a sense of virtue to standardized tests, saw a 1,000 percent increase in registrations over its short history when the SAT and ACT canceled testing for the remainder of the school year due to COVID-19.

“Because we are able to administer the test remotely, we’re kind of the only game in town,” said Jeremy Tate, who created the CLT four years ago amid a renaissance in Classical education, including among Christians.

At its first administration in June 2016, 47 students took the CLT. With the bump in registration, 50,000 students will take its suite of tests—the CLT, and the CLT-8 and CLT-10, designed for lower grades—during the 2019-2020 academic year. That’s more than double last year’s total.

Though not a Christian company, CLT references figures including John Henry Newman and C. S. Lewis in its promotional materials and stresses the moral, formational dimension to education. The exam has been popular among classical Christian schools, which educate over 40,000 students in the US, and homeschoolers, who make up about 40 percent of CLT test-takers.

So far, 178 colleges and universities in the US accept the exam, mostly Catholic and Protestant schools. For other institutions, the CLT can serve as a supplemental assessment.

The College Board and ACT Inc., the companies that administer the SAT and ACT, respectively, have canceled or postponed in-person testing until the fall, leading many colleges to make the admissions exams an optional part of their applications. In 2018, around 2 million students took the SAT and 1.9 million took the ACT.

While some registrants may turn to the CLT this year for the convenience ...

Died: Darrin Patrick, Who Used His Fall and Restoration to Help Struggling Pastors

(UPDATED) The St. Louis pastor spoke up about the difficulties faced by leaders and critiqued “celebrity culture” in ministry.

Darrin Patrick, a megachurch pastor, author, and speaker, has died.

Patrick was a teaching pastor at Seacoast Church, a multi-site megachurch based in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and the founding pastor of the Journey Church in St. Louis, where he lived.

In a Friday evening update, Seacoast Church stated: “Darrin was target shooting with a friend at the time of his death. An official cause of death has not been released but it appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. No foul play is suspected.”

Patrick’s unexpected death came as a shock to friends and colleagues. Robby Gallaty, pastor of Long Hollow Baptist, in Hendersonville, Tennessee, said that Patrick was scheduled to speak at his church next weekend.

“I just talked to him Tuesday and Wednesday,” said Gallaty. “This is the second close friend I have lost in a year.”

Gallaty first met Patrick in 2015 and had invited him to speak the following year at a men’s ministry event at Long Hollow. Just before the event, he said, Patrick called and said he was leaving the ministry.

At the time, Patrick had been a rising star among Reformed evangelical circles and was serving as vice-president of the Acts 29 church planting network. He was fired from Journey for what church elders called misconduct including “inappropriate meetings, conversations, and phone calls with two women” and an abuse of power.

Despite Patrick’s fall from ministry, the two stayed friends. Patrick admitted his faults and got counseling. He went through a restoration process that lasted 26 months, according to a 2019 blog interview posted at Christianity Today. He returned to the ministry as a preacher but not as a senior pastor of a church. ...

Coronavirus and changes to BCI’s Operations

We're thinking a lot about our community and hope you are staying safe.

As we confront the challenge of the coronavirus pandemic, we're making the health and safety of our staff and our supporters our top priority. In line with CDC guidance and Federal & state orders, we are taking several important steps to our operations:

  • Public Events
    In response to CDC guidance regarding avoidance of large public gatherings, we are postponing the Bracken bat flight season. We will resume bat flight events when public health experts determine that large public gatherings are again safe.

Similarly, we have postponed or canceled all upcoming bat walk events at this time.

  • Merchandise & Gift Fulfillments
    Our Austin, Texas headquarters is currently subject to a city-wide “Stay Home, Work Safe” order. With our Austin-based employees working from home, please allow several weeks for delivery of merchandise and adopt-a-bat purchases ordered after March 24. Please also allow extra time for the processing of gifts made through U.S. mail. We are grateful for your patience and ask you to consider making your contribution to BCI online via credit card on our website or through PayPal.

  • Staff Operations & Field Work
    We’re taking the necessary steps to protect our staff while minimizing any disruptions to our mission. These precautions include:
    • Adhering to all state “stay-at-home” orders. At this time, most state orders consider BCI’s work as non-essential.
    • Adhering to Federal CDC guidance including:
      • Avoiding large gatherings such as events, trainings, and conferences
      • Avoiding/postponing non-essential domestic and international travel
      • Working remotely
    • Adhering to National Wildlife Health Center and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service guidance to avoid contact with bats to prevent a potential spillback of the novel coronavirus from humans to wildlife

As a result of these precautions, we have postponed all fieldwork during the coronavirus pandemic to comply with public policies. Also, due to the global shortage of PPE supplies, we have suspended bat survey activities that require PPE.

We will continue to do all we can to respond to expert public health guidance, take the actions necessary to keep our staff and supporters safe and healthy, and update you on any changes.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we confront this shared challenge.
