AMY CALLOWAY

Admissions & Parent Care Director

Amy Calloway has spent much of her life in the SLO County area, and can subsequently tell you just about everything you want to know about our county and all of the best places to eat and things to do therein! Amy worked for PG&E, out at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant, for almost 20 years before she came to SLOCA. She initially found SLOCA in 2007 while looking for part time work and homeschooling her son full time. Rather than finding herself a job, she ended up finding a school for her son! She then began volunteering as the playground supervisor, worked her way into the job of Nice Office Lady, assisted Susie (Executive Director), and eventually grew into her role as the Admissions & Parent Care Director, while also overseeing the office and the school store. Throughout the growth of the school, and in her roles serving the community, it is no doubt that her degrees in hard work, caring attitude, and strong work ethic have been at play. There are many things Amy loves about Classical Education at SLOCA: the integration of subjects; all levels learning the same thing at the same time; what we teach and how we teach is developmentally appropriate for each level; the character development we see through both good and bad characters that we learn about in history and literature! Amy believes that her own love of learning was sparked just by watching what the school was doing and how our teachers and staff interact with each and every student. When she’s not at school, Amy is to be found enjoying her family - she may work hard, but she also knows how to play hard, too!
