STCA is not just a place for academic excellence, but a place where learning go hand-in-hand with personal development and a drive to be impactful. Students are highly motivated and inspiring, while the dedication of teachers is obvious. During the pandemic, I transferred my daughter from a public elementary school to STCA. I have noticed many differences between public schools and STCA. I am very satisfied with my daughters academic progress. Compared with her public school friends, she learned a lot more in this school. The teacher to student ratio is about 6 to 1 for each subject. As the only classical academy in the Santa Barbara area, STCA stands out with several unique teaching methods. The school emphasizes nature and hands-on experiences. There are field trips every week. Students go to the school ranch to grow plants and observe farm animals. The art class only teaches kids about art, but also art history. The Latin program is fantastic. 20% students got gold medals in the recent national Latin test which is an incredible achievement. Students are placed in different levels of classes based on their capability, not age. Kids are never bored because their brains are always challenged. The tuition is affordable to most families, which makes it the best value school in town. As a parent, I highly recommend this school.
