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.

Grand Days 2025

Our annual Grand Days events took place last week, and boy oh boy do we love our SLOCA grandparents. Every October, we welcome our SLOCA grandparents onto campus for an opportunity to experience, first hand, the incredible education their grandchildren are receiving. There is certainly something special in the air when all those wonderful grands are on campus, and the students could not be more excited to share their classroom “life” with their grandparents!
