About Us

Whitmore Classical Academy is a nonsectarian, tuition-free public charter school for students within the Siuslaw School District and a surrounding 30-mile radius. Whitmore Classical Academy's goal is to open September 2026 for grade K-3 and will expand one grade each year to its full offering of K-8.

Whitmore Classical Academy is located in Florence, Oregon. Florence is a small community of 9,000 residents located at the mouth of the Siuslaw River, on the Oregon Coast. It is approximately 65 miles west of Eugene, Oregon. Nearby, trails around the restored 19th century Heceta Head Lighthouse offer views of seabirds and migrating whales. Shops and galleries fill the city’s Historic Old Town District. Across the river are the towering sand dunes in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area.
