Community Updates & Reminder

COMMUNITY FOOD ASSISTANCE:

Through USDA's summer meal programs, approved sites in communities across the country can serve meals to kids up to age 18 at no cost, regardless of the school they normally attend. Visit San Diego County Summer 2026 Meal Sites for Students to view a list of summer meal sites in your neighborhood. Please contact the site directly for more information.

Please also visit these other community resources:

MEAL PROGRAM: The Classical Academies is pleased to offer every student one free breakfast meal kit and/or one free lunch meal kit each day they are on campus for an educational purpose lasting longer than 2 hours. Students must sign up online. Sign up for the meal program. Our meal program is available to all students, regardless of eligibility status, who are on campus for longer than two hours for an educational purpose. Please reach out to cwyrick@classicalacademy.com if you have any questions.

REMINDER: As a California independent study school, we are required to offer synchronous (live) instruction opportunities for students. This provides a chance for students to connect with a credentialed teacher in real time for academic support. In the 4-day program at Coastal Academy High School, synchronous (live) instruction opportunities are offered through Monday mentoring opportunities. Our independent study program offers separate synchronous touch points with teachers that can be scheduled directly with your I.S teacher. If you would like more information about times available to your student, please reach out to their advisory teacher directly.
