The Orange County Classical Academy is Orange County’s only public, tuition-free, K-12 Classical Education charter school. Located in Orange, California, Orange County Classical Academy’s goal is preparing future citizens through content-rich education centered in classics and great mentors. STUDENTS enjoy a classical liberal arts curriculum encompassing history, English, math, visual and performing arts, laboratory science, foreign language and college preparatory electives.

Orange County Classical Academy is a Licensed User of the Hillsdale College K-12 Curriculum.

Orange County Classical Academy will offer a content-rich education that challenges and motivates each sTUDENT to discover, strive for, and achieve her/his full personal potential. We believe that all sTUDENTS deserve a challenging and comprehensive curriculum directed toward achieving world-class standards. We further believe that family involvement and commitment are essential to each sTUDENT achieving his/her maximum potential.

The Academy will feature a strong curriculum, outstanding teaching, ongoing assessment of progress and development of STUDENT potential, and will require a commitment to high standards and to a full partnership between families, learners and the Charter School. Working in partnership, teachers and parents inspire each STUDENT to identify his/her special excellence as well as become a lifelong learner.
