Classical Academy High School is a public charter school located in Escondido, California. The school was one of the first in Escondido to issue laptops, or more precisely, Apple MacBooks to all incoming students. Students are given a Macbook and an I.D number, from which they login unto the school's website and access assignments on home days. Podcasts and flash video are also posted on the website, where students can view and post comments directly to their teachers. First enrollment began in 2006, offering grades 9 and 10. In 2007, 11th grades positions were open. As of the 2008-2009 school year, CAHS offers grades 9-12. The Principals for CAHS are Dr. Nicole Wahab and Dr. Nancy Beeman.

Academics

There are currently 2 tracks offered at CAHS. A 4 day on campus track (Mondays are home study days) and a 5 day at home program. A wide-range of courses are offered, including: English Honors, History Honors, Physics, Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, Spanish I and II, German I, Drama, Music, and Choir. Accommodations can be made for students who wish enroll in courses independent from Classical Academy. Expansion of existing and advance placement programs have been confirmed for the next school year. Membership in National Honors Society will also be available to qualified students. The average class size is 13-17 peers.

Mascot

The official mascot for Classical Academy High School is the Caiman.

Associative Student Body

Dana Moen is the current adviser of the 2008-2009 ASB cabinet. ASB oversees all extracurricular school activities, including Skate Night, Broomball, Spirit Week, Movie Day, Wii Game Night, and Beach Party. Other applications, like student appreciation, are also headed by ASB.

Important Changes

For the 2008-2009 school year, The Classical Academy High School intends on changing its traditional 2 studio - 3 home day weeks to 4 day studio - 1 day home weeks. This dramatic expansion has proven to be quite popular among parents and students. However, CAHS is still fully committed to the focused homeschooling-geared families, so other more academically-flexible programs will remain. In addition to the confirmed 4 studio weeks, a "blended" program will be offered to students who wish to enroll in courses at school, home, and/or local colleges. Blended track will allow families and students to pick and choose their courses in all available educational outlets.
