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.

There’s no denying the benefits of the Internet. But electronic immersion, without a force to balance it, creates the hole in the boat — draining our ability to pay attention, to think clearly, to be productive and creative.

What would our lives be like if our days and nights were as immersed in nature as they are in technology?

~ Richard Louv, The Nature Principle: Human Restoration and the End of Nature-Deficit Disorder

As you make plans for the weekend, keep thinking about intentionally carving out some Free by Five time with your loved ones. Step away from technology for a bit and out into nature!
