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 Night on the Nile: 2025 History Night

Our Fall History event, “Night on the Nile,” was an AMAZING way to wrap up our studies of ancient Egypt! History Days are always a special time for our school to ALL join together, from kindergarten all the way to high school! Each level focused on a different Egyptian “experience,” including scarab painting, working with hieroglyphs, creating a cartouche, a journey through the underworld and many other immersive experiences. These events not only put a metaphorical bow on this unit of study, but also create lasting memories for students of what they have learned. Enjoy some enchanting pictures from SLOCA’s night on the Nile!
