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.

Light Saber Labor

Happy Wednesday, everyone! It might be chilly out there but we have a heartwarming story for you today. This short WONDER story came to us earlier in the school year when we received a note from our History Day Coordinator, Stephanie Ridley, about her youngest SLOCA student.

Let’s read on…


Sometimes you don’t have to look very hard for the wonders, they present themselves to you (just after getting out of the shower even). One morning Ensio brought me his latest drawing.  

“I drew a lightsaber and wrote it too!” he announced to me.  

I put my glasses on and then looked as he read out the letters he had written.  

“ L-I-T-S-A, those two were mess ups, B-R!”  

“Wow, Ensio, that is great writing! Which sister told you how to spell it?”  was my response.

“No sisters! I did it!”  he declared.

We have begun the kinder OPG reading book, but I was surprised that he could spell that well.  He also has loved drawing with Mrs. Eades in Jr K last year, and his progress really shows. This was indeed a moment of wonder where I could see so many pieces of the early education puzzle come together for him.


Isn’t that the cutest? It is so exciting when our students connect the dots!! Way to go, Ensio!

We LOVE reading stories like this! If you have something similar of your own that you’d like to share with our readers, please email us and let us know! We look forward to hearing your WONDERing anecdotes!
