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.

John and the Magna Carta

Poetry recitations, Science Night preparations, end-of-trimester evaluations…our families have been busy these last few weeks! And the next couple of weeks coming up will be just as full with excitement! We want to remind you again that we have two big SLOCA events on the horizon with Bill D. and our Father-Daughter dance next week. Make sure to sign up if you haven’t already!

Now onto this week’s supplemental resources. As always, what we share here on Mondays is meant to further enrich your learning at home. These supplemental resources are optional and are not meant to give you “one more thing” to do. There is no pressure to read, watch or do all (or any!) of these resources. Therefore, utilize them in a way that will best fit your family’s dynamic and schedule.
