As Governor Newsom ordered schools to provide remote learning in March, The Classical Academies quickly pivoted to serve the needs of the community. While traditional school districts struggled to meet student needs, hundreds of new families enrolled in The Classical Academies programs. California's Governor is refusing to cover the expense of these new students, putting financial strain on charter schools offering independent study. The Classical Academy community launched a fundraiser to help offset the costs of these new students, raising over $50K via online donations. With an overall goal of $75K, donations are being accepted through the end of September. Tax-deductible donations will help cover the cost of hiring and training new teachers, purchasing curriculum, new technology, and securing new software and licenses for new students.
