Optional Synchronous (Live) Instruction Opportunities

As a California independent study school, we are dedicated to providing meaningful support for all our students. While our program is designed for maximum flexibility, we are also required to offer optional synchronous (live) instruction opportunities. These sessions are an excellent resource for students to connect with their credentialed teachers in real time for additional academic guidance.

At CAHS-PL, these opportunities are available via zoom. If you would like to explore these options for your student, please feel free to contact their teacher directly.

Please note: Participation in these sessions is entirely optional. While we are required to notify families when a student does not participate, please rest assured that there is no negative impact on your student’s standing or progress if they choose not to attend. No action is required on your part.

Thank you for your continued partnership.

CSU OPT-OUT

We are thrilled to share that Classical Academy High School is participating in the CSU Direct Admission Program, which uses academic data to identify eligible students and provide early admission opportunities to participating CSU campuses before students apply; students must still complete the Cal State Apply application and required enrollment steps to finalize admission.

As part of the program, CAHS may share student and parent/guardian information with the CSU, including student name and preferred name, contact information and mailing address, date of birth, Statewide Student Identifier (SSID), gender, race/ethnicity, high school information, and CSU Direct Admission eligibility category. Parents/guardians who do not want this information shared may use this opt-out form.

Absent/Tardy Procedures

If your student is going to be absent or tardy, please send an email to plcattendance@classicalacademy.com or call the attendance line at (760) 462-1585 to excuse them.  Students who are excused to be tardy will then be issued a tardy pass at the front desk when they arrive.

If your student anticipates being absent from school for more than two weeks, please have them complete the Extended Absence Form and submit the completed form to the front desk at least two weeks prior to their planned absence.

Instructional Engagement

As a California independent study school, we are required to offer optional synchronous (live) instruction opportunities for students. This provides a chance for students to connect with a credentialed teacher in real time for academic support. There is no negative impact for the student if they do not attend.

At CAHS PL, synchronous (live) instruction opportunities are offered through workshop classes, synchronous virtual courses and Monday Office Hours. If you would like more information about times available to your student, please reach out to their teacher directly.

We are required to notify families when students do not take part (lack of attendance) and encourage all students to access the available resources.

Thank you for your continued support.
