Classical Academy Escondido will partner with
parents in their mission to develop exemplary young
citizens who aspire to attain their personal academic
potential. Equipped with analytical thinking skills,
a passion for learning, and virtuous character, all
built upon a solid foundation of knowledge, our students
will become an asset to our community and nation.
Classical Academy Escondido offers parents
educational choices for their children. They may choose
one of three tracks - A, B, or C. All tracks involve
independent study and partnering with parents, however.
Tracks A and B involve regular full-day optional workshops
twice a week, while Track C students school at home
five days a week.
Optional workshops for students
meet from 8:00 am to 2:25 pm. Workshops offer parents
a two-day opportunity for their children to interact
in a class-like setting where a California credentialed
teacher provides instruction and supervision. Students
work in groups enabling them to interact and share
learning experiences with their peers. Parents receive
curriculum and prepared lesson plans, as well as planned
field trips / activities outside the workshop. These
field trips follow the science and history themes throughout
the year. Parents are able to work along side the teacher
to develop an individualized curriculum for their student.
Children receive a morning break, lunch hour, and afternoon
break, where Student Supervisors organize games and
activities for their enjoyment. Our optional workshop
students receive music and Spanish instruction along
with their other studies. We believe our optional workshop
program provides students and parents one of the best
home and school experiences.

Parents choosing to participate
in this track maintain the freedom and flexibility
of fulltime home schooling. Working with an Educational
Specialist (ES), students meet as often as needed to
discuss their individualized academic program. ES's
provide academic leadership in the selection of curriculum
and resources for parents to teach their children.
Parents in Track C enjoy the freedom to select non-sectarian
curriculum that they feel supports them in educating
their children. Students in this program can choose
weekly lab activities such as: computer, math, choir,
and musical theatre. Instructors at TCA teach these
labs. Track C is viewed as the track of "choice" when
it comes to providing parents choices in curriculum,
electives, and labs.
