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.

A Heroic Plea to Our Readers

Normally we post a recipe on Wednesdays, but we are interrupting the normal schedule for this very urgent and important request:

Our Heroic Quest fundraiser is wrapping up in a few days and we need to generate some excitement and heat around it!

As you know, all schools fundraise (in fact after conducting some research we have discovered that most schools raise 17- 20% of their budget through fundraising. We here at SLOCA only allocate that 12% of our budget comes from fundraising). It’s THIS MONEY that keeps our tuition palatable and our class size small—we all know that it’s a different ball game when you’ve got 35-40 kids in a single classroom.

The good news about this fundraiser is that it’s a collective—when everyone participates from Preschool through High School the responsibility is spread and shared.

So, we are reaching out to you today to make sure that we can count on your participation in helping to raise money for our Heroic Quest.

Our school excels at accomplishing great things together, and we can do this! A little extra push during these last few days can make all the difference, allowing us to meet our budget. Let’s end this fundraiser on Friday with our goal met – we appreciate all your efforts!
