The support we've received in the past two years has just been astounding. We've been able to get our autistic son from non-reader in 3rd grade to reading chapter books in 5th! And his math has greatly improved with the direction and knowledge of our Education Specialist. In addition, their special education services are fantastic. The choices we have with elective programs, school day trips and class trips are diverse and well-planned. We have three boys @ Classical, and I wouldn't change it for the world!
My kids have attended Classical Academy for 10 years. I was encouraged to hear them say recently that when they have kids they want to send them to a school like Classical. There is a unique sense of community at the schools that I attribute to the emphasis on partnering with parents. The families, teachers, and staff are all committed to creating an environment where kids can thrive.
The North County Education Foundation provides exceptional, personalized service. Donors feel loved and appreciated! Every time I've contacted them the have responded immediately. They also follow through on requested earmarks. My experience has been 100% positive!
The Classical Academy has been a safe place for my family since 1999. My boys are adults and both have their careers. They are bright intelligent and kind men who are making a difference where they are at. I so appreciate that The Classical Academy made an impact in our families life and I continue to work here because I believe we continue to do that every day our doors are open. The Classical Academy's goal is to partner with parents to inspire each student to think critically, communicate effectively and achieve excellence. This is not just words but something each employee achieves from the top down. I have never been or seen a place where administration really seeks out and listens to parents concerns and make changes based on their feedback. I am so excited to continue to be a parl of this incredible organization!
The Classical Academy is home! All three of my children have attended this school since Kindergarten and have had the best experience! The teachers and staff truly care for the students and you know it from the moment you walk in the front door! As a staff, we hear over and over how our students are remarkable. Yes, they are smart and well-rounded, but even more important they are kind. You will see it as they interact both in the classroom and on the playground. The Classical Academy is one of a kind!
I have taught at several schools. The Classical Academy is by far the best. Students come to school eager to learn and with their homework completed. Students are kind to each other and respectful to their teachers. The teachers on our campus are amazing. You won't hear grumbling or complaining. They truly love what they do and are eager to serve.
My two children attended this school from 2000-2010 and I had the opportunity to see this school grow tremendously during that time. Both of my children are now excelling in college and I strongly believe that this school has played a significant role in their success, both morally and academically. The thing that makes this school special is the community of individuals (parents, teachers, students) that collaborate with similar goals and values. It is a place where students are loved, encouraged, and taught to take responsibility for their actions. A place where students are taught to truly LOVE learning and are given the freedom to explore talents. Our family now has life-long friendships that were formed while attending The Classical Academy and my daughters have a solid foundation for a successful future. If you are thinking of this school as an academic option...do it! It was the best decision we ever made as a family. There are many people to support you along the way.
When it came time to consider educational options for my kids, I didn't think that I would be able to find something like what I envisioned. I wanted to be the primary educator in the lives of my kids, but I also wanted them to experience a traditional classroom environment. I was thrilled to find that the Classical Academies offered this option. Between the various campuses, there are a variety of models (online, electives only, etc.), but I chose the option for grades K-6 where the kids go to class 2 days a week and are home for the other 3. The school provides the curriculum though there is flexibility to choose your own. I now have a middle schooler who goes to class 3 days a week, and next year, as a high schooler, he has the option to go to class 4 days a week. We are so grateful for the community that we have at this school and for all of the extracurricular activities that my kids have had the opportunity to enjoy (ASB, Flag Team, Musical Theater, etc.). Thank you Classical Academies for the wonderful, FREE educational experience that you have provided for my family and the hundreds of other families in our community!!!
As a parent of three kids with very different learning styles and needs, the Classical Academy was a perfect fit for our family. We were able to individualize the curriculum to meet everyone's needs and all three had a very positive learning experience. The entire staff cares deeply about each child.
My children attended The Classical Academy through elementary and high school. This excellent school provided everything we needed to educate our students well and train them up in high character.
Eventually, I joined the organization as staff and find Classical to be an employer who treats employees with respect.
What an incredible place to work! As an employee at The Classical Academies, I feel appreciated, supported, nurtured, and encouraged to grow and develop as a teacher. The community is tightly-knit, including parents, staff, and students. The leadership is transparent and authentic. I honestly love being part of this organization because TCA is doing meaningful work the right way.
This school is second to none. The individualized programming, partnership with families and commitment to excellence set TCA apart from other schools. The teachers and staff care deeply about students. The approach at TCA is truly student-centered, with many options for enrichment, including the award-winning theater program, sports, art, music and clubs. Students' needs come first here, which is why I love coming to work each day!
We are so grateful to all of the dedicated staff and teachers at TCA. As a homeschooling mom of 5 (two that are preschool age), the support, flexibility and structure of this school are key ingredients to our success. There is a nice balance of accountability and support with many options to meet a variety of individual needs. In our case, having the option of core classes on campus (Science, History and Writing to be specific) gives me time to spend with my little ones and helps keep my older students motivated.
Classical Academy made my daughter love school again.
My daughter had a very difficult experience with 1st grade in a traditional public school. We had a teacher and principal who did not care about our needs, and we had some serious bullying problems throughout the year. By the end of 1st grade, my daughter was literally in tears every morning when I dropped her off at school because she was so miserable there.
We decided that we were not going to put her through that again, so we started looking for alternatives for 2nd grade. We asked our friends and family for recommendations, and we found out about Classical Academy. After looking into it in more detail we decided to give it a try for 2nd grade. That was definitely one of the best choices we ever made for our daughter. The environment at this school was a complete shift from the traditional public school we had attended for 1st grade. Every member of the staff cared about our concerns and needs in a way that we never saw at our 1st grade school. In addition to that, the student culture there was far more welcoming and friendly to my daughter. She is now in 4th grade, and we have not seen even a hint of the bullying she dealt with at the traditional school. She loves school now, and for that I will always be grateful to Classical Academy.
My oldest began attending here in 1st grade. He is now a 10th grader at the high school. Our other two children began in kindergarten. Our family loves the caring staff and how we are able to adjust curriculum to meet each of our students needs. I loved the school so much, that I began to work here as well. The environment is amazing with everyone helping others and you can really see that everyone is here to help students every day!
My Kinder and 2nd grader are thriving at Classical Academy. Their teachers are challenging and encouraging them to grow and excel. We have been impressed with the many extra classes and educational events constantly happening to keep our kids excited about learning! This is an amazing school, that will change the way traditional education bores many students!
My kids love this school! The staff is amazing...everyone is so friendly and helpful. My daughter even calls the yard duties her friends and both of my kids talk about their teachers and staff positively. The curriculum is great too! My kids are learning all of the state standards but I can personalize the curriculum to their strengths and needs. We can go at their pace. I love that there's options with campus days and homeschooling. My kids are on campus 2 days a week and homeschool the other 3. It's the perfect fit for us! Classical Academy is awesome!!
I have had the opportunity to homeschool my kids for the past 10 years through Classical Academy. I rely on the expertise of the teachers and their curriculum, but appreciate the ability to make adjustments to my children's learning styles. The community is friendly and the staff truly partners with parents.
Classical Academy has provided an amazing education for our daughter, as well as a wonderful opportunity for myself to work with her and participate in her education. My daughter has special needs and her special academic instruction teacher has really helped her confidence and anxiety. I am so thankful for Classical Academy! What a difference it has made for us!
Classical Academy provides an incredible opportunity for families that are looking for an alternative to the "typical" public school environment. Both of my children have ADHD and by the time they got to high school they knew they needed another option than the regular high school in our community. We were so thrilled to find Classical Academy H.S. The smaller number of students, the philosophy and the many options to learning are a great fit for my daughter. She also loves choir and is looking forward to participating in musical theatre at the school.
It is truly one of the best! Parents are valued, student learning is personalized, and the school is a place where academics are celebrated and students become better thinkers, communicators, and achievers. www.classicalacademy.com details all the options, support, and programs that eclipse the offerings of traditional public schools in our community. We share a partnership with parents in the education of their children and that makes all the difference.
