Introducing Matthew Tolbert, The First Ever Student to Earn a Perfect CLT Score!
On this episode of Anchored, Jeremy and Dr. Tracy Gardner are joined by Matthew Tolbert, the first-ever student to earn a perfect CLT score. They are also joined by Matthew's parents, Phil and Susan Tolbert. Matthew's parents share their story as a homeschooling family, how they made the decision to homeschool, what they love most about it, and how it molded their children. They describe their homeschooling philosophy as "a tool to explore the natural curiosity that God has instilled in children." Matthew also shares what he loved most about being homeschooled, and why he enjoyed taking the CLT exam. He shares the list of colleges he hopes to apply to, and the traits that are important for him when choosing which college to attend. Matthew's parents end the podcast by offering words of advice and encouragement to families who are new to homeschooling, or who would like to homeschool their children.
