The SLOCA Blog
Welcome to Down Home, San Luis Obispo Classical Academy’s (SLOCA) blog! We are an independent school providing classical education (with a twist) for preschool-high school (+ infant/toddler care) on the Central Coast of California. SLOCA unites a timeless education with small class sizes and a collaborative, integrated learning environment at every level. For over 15 years, SLOCA has been a place where families matter and every child is seen. This blog is meant to support and encourage parents on the home front because, in so many ways, the heart of what happens in education happens Down Home.
