Welcome to Down Home, San Luis Obispo Classical Academy’s blog! We are a classical school offering several options to make our education work for families with infants through high schoolers. Our signature hybrid program, which is part-time classroom and part-time home instruction, provides an engaging education for preschool through middle school (with full time options available). We also have a university model high school. This blog is meant to support and encourage on the home front because, in so many ways, the heart of what happens at SLO Classical Academy happens down home.

Semper discentes—always learning together.

Free Friday: Readers Around the World

{photo by Ben White}

“Readers are seldom lonely or bored, because reading is a refuge and an enlightenment.”

~ Paul Theroux

Images are all too common of people with their heads down, staring at a mobile device. We witness it everywhere we go. It would not be surprising at all to see a photo of a public scene, with several people looking down at their phones. 

Want to see something refreshing? One of our SLOCA parents sent in this BBC article featuring a series of photos of people around the world reading, spanning 30 countries. (The above quote was taken from the article):

Striking photos of readers around the world

Enjoy these – there are definitely a few “Wow” images here! Share them with your kids, and make time this weekend to read… maybe read aloud a fun book together as a family!
