Our annual UMS Team-Building at the Vista Lago Adventure Park was a blast! 💥

It was great to welcome back our Grizzlies for their first days of school!

Our staff geared up in their "Less Is S'more" camping-themed t-shirts to welcome students back to our old campus on Grand Ave. While we're excited for the new building to come, we're also excited for the adventure ahead—making the most of our "camping" experience and forging ahead with JOY! ✨️

A huge thank you to our SLOCA community for scrubbing, weeding, lifting, sorting, fixing, and everything else you could imagine goes into getting ready for a new year. We're ready for you, Grizzlies! 🐾

Check out this new Forbes article by Emily de Rotstein! We couldn't agree more that the whole-family approach to education + learning is what makes classical education one-of-a-kind.

Families, what are your favorite things you've learned with your child(ren) over the years?

Special thanks to Michele Stevens, Amanda Thayer, and all other production assistants who helped pull off yet another Musical Theater Summer Camp production!

34 students, 3 days of warm-up, and 7 days of rehearsal led to this amazing performance of Madagascar: A Musical Adventure! This 2-week-long summer camp is one of our most beloved camp offerings—if you missed it this summer, grab a spot for next summer when sign-ups open in the Spring!

🤝🏼 "Welcome to the Conversation." 🤝🏼

If you missed the Senior Project presentations in April, the recordings are well worth watching. It's the capstone research project for seniors, but for many, it's actually the culmination of years of learning at SLOCA.

If you have a Kindergartener, watch these.
If you have a middle schooler, watch these.
If you're a HS junior, watch these.

These presentations are not just about the snakes of SLO County or Star Wars or fixing cars—they are about integrated learning, virtue, and how studying the classics transforms the way we see the world. This is the type of learning we're after at SLOCA. This is what's ahead for you!
