Last week, our Associate Director, Troy Wathan shared with parents and community members why classical education is desirable. Although a classical education is not new, our hybrid program at SLO Classical Academy is unique and others have taken notice of this model.
While some education reformers are focusing on performance-based incentives and curriculum changes, others are trying to shift the very structure of schooling.
Students traditionally attend school from September to June, five days a week, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., with occasional holidays and shortened days. New “time-oriented” education takes many alternate forms, including homeschool co-ops, online learning, hybrids of different instruction types, and boarding schools. Some reduce lesson time, while some expand it.
