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.

Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.

~ Pablo Picasso

Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.

~ Roger Lewin

Happy Friday! Maybe we don’t think computers are totally useless, but the above quotes remind us that the journey of discovery is about questioning, trying, experimenting, and problem-solving… all of which are usually more important than just finding answers. As our students dive into their science fair projects, let’s remember this and encourage them no matter what happens throughout the process. 

Since it’s Friday, we hope you enjoy some computer-free family and friend time this weekend, talking together, laughing together, and holding them close. 

Don’t forget that even though Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, school is still in session next Monday and Tuesday – see you then!
