Students have the opportunity to take courses in organizational behavior, marketing and business decision making. Students will also obtain soft skills such as resume building and interview practice to prepare for entrance into the workforce.

Big News! Students can receive Palomar College Credit for classes at CAO!

What is high school articulation?

An articulated high school course is one in which a determination has been made that a course offered at the high school level is comparable to a specific community college course. High school students have the potential to earn college credits by taking an articulated high school class. When a student earns at least a letter grade of B or higher, high school and FREE college credit can be earned at the same time. 

The Classical Academy Online program has been approved for the following articulated courses with Palomar College:

Keyboarding; a one-semester class offered zero period, equivalent to Business 165

Digital Art - Illustrator: year-long class offered third period, equivalent to GCIP 152: Digital Publishing/Illustrator I. 

Keyboarding will be offered second semester, zero period, at Classical Academy Online. Students may enroll in this class by signing up on the waitlist with Mrs. Chatton. Priority will be given by grade level, starting with Seniors. 

Students currently enrolled in Digital Art - Illustrator are already eligible and will be provided with information in class to sign up. 

We are so excited that our caliber of classes are being recognized as college level instruction!

FYI

The school will not allow deliveries from third party services, such as (DoorDash, UberEats, etc.). Students are not allowed to leave campus and return the same day, except for seniors on Tuesday for lunch.

This year, we have an opportunity to support the Fitness Freedom Project, which provides affordable gym memberships to Veterans. By filling a two-liter plastic soda bottle with dimes, you can donate the bottle to FFP for 50 community service hours! A filled bottle is a $500 tax-deductible donation that helps Veterans in our own community. This community service opportunity is in memory of Jay Coon.
