Tuition, alone, cannot sustain a school and allow for families of all economic levels to choose Classical Education. Classical Education works – it provides a strong foundation in the basics of learning, it gives students the tools needed for lifelong learning, and it is uniquely preparing students for life following childhood. These students possess the ability to think and reason for themselves, they are able to express themselves and they are able to succeed in both the college and work environments. These students possess leadership qualities to impact their community wherever they go and whatever they do. In sum, students fortunate to have received a Classical Education are thriving and are able to contribute to society with strength and thoughtfulness. We have worked to make SLO Classical Academy affordable to as many families as possible, without compromising the integrity and richness of our program. We will continue to serve the community in this way, and also dream of providing more teacher and parent education, of having required books available for those who cannot afford to purchase them, of outfitting our classrooms more richly, and of providing more educational opportunities for families on the Central Coast.

When you give to SLO Classical Academy, you become a partner with the school, the families, and the students.  You join us in our Circle of Learning, and we are grateful for those Learning Partners!  There are many ways to give to the school.  We happily accept one-time gifts as well as commitments from donors who pledge to give over a five year period, which provides sustainable funding over time.

We continue to face the reality of the costs it takes to keep our mission and vision alive.  In addition to tuition, we rely on the generosity of those who share the desire to invest in our youth by giving them the gift of education that truly prepares them for the future. 

There is a great deal of work ahead and with your help, we eagerly begin the journey.
