Since 1997, Veritas School has been part of a growing movement to recover the rich liberal arts tradition in education. Our classical methodology uses teaching methods that work together with the development of children, emphasizing the mastery of basic facts and skills in younger grades, critical thinking in the middle years, and communication/evaluation skills in the upper grades. Classes include Latin, Logic, and Formal Rhetoric. All subjects are taught as parts of an integrated whole, with God and His Word at the center. Our goal is to give students the important tools of learning and because of this, our SAT scores rank in the top 14%, over 300 points above the state average. As a result, 35 families have moved and numerous others commute to attend Veritas. Why? Because the education provided is clearly unique, highly successful, and distinctly Christian. We’d love to talk with you further about what makes Veritas so enticing!
