Welcome

Thank you for visiting the website for The Classical Academy. My name is Jonelle Godfrey, and as your principal, I am pleased to welcome you to our school. We are Escondido's premier charter elementary school. Operating since 1999, we "partner with parents" in their mission to educate their children. Our program spans Kindergarten through 8th grade and we offer optional weekly workshops and Friday enrichment labs for students. At The Classical Academy we seek to create "Thinkers, Communicators, and Achievers", Kindergarten through 8th grade.
The school is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and our students continually out perform other area schools due to the fact that they work so closely with their parents and are supervised by a credential teacher.
Our mission is to inspire students, empower parents, and promote a life-long love for learning by creating an environment where academic success is personalized and achievable for all children. Parents, working with credentialed teachers, prepare, monitor, and implement programs that enrich, challenge, and inspire students to embrace personalized academic success.
Attached is our school orientation presentation in two formats. Please feel free to download one and contact us if you have any further questions. Thank you for visiting our site. We hope you visit often.
