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.

Can’t remember our Grizzly Fight Song? Here’s a video made by SLOCA High School graduate Josh Ronda, with the song (lyrics are below):

 

SLOCA Fight Song

Do you know what the ancients say?
Search for truth and beauty, too
We seek wisdom every day
To grow in virtue through and through

Stand and fight with me
We’ll have a grizzly victory
Fly that banner high
Join our battle cry
SLOCA, SLOCA is our home
We will stand in unity
Some say all roads lead to Rome
But we will make new history!

We will learn our whole lives long
Building our ability
Facing battles, we are strong
In courage and humility!

Stand and fight with me
We’ll have a grizzly victory
Fly that banner high
Join our battle cry
SLOCA, SLOCA is our home
We will stand in unity
Some say all roads lead to Rome
But we will make new history!
We will make new history!

 

We look forward to a sensational week full of SLOCA Spirit!
