What Makes Veritas Different?

First and foremost, Veritas exists to disciple students in the paideia of the Lord, to train the whole person to love the Lord with all their hearts, minds, and strength. Discipleship takes place as teachers mentor the students in the way they think about every subject and how they live it out, all from the perspective of God’s Word, in a way that reflects the truth, goodness, and beauty of God.

This discipleship is carried out through a “classical” model of education, which emphasizes the cultivation of wisdom and virtue in addition to knowledge and skill, and teaches students to think critically, not just to access information. By training them in the liberal arts of the trivium and the quadrivium, classical education produces students who are truly wise, virtuous, and free.

A godly community is both the means and the end of a true education. Education of the whole person requires a community of parents, teachers, friends, and pastors who will keep the student accountable. The student is loved, encouraged, and discipled to grow into a vital member of the body of Christ and a valuable citizen of the commonwealth.

Who We Are

Pre-Grammar School

Grades Jr. Kinder - 1st

In the earliest grades (K-1st grade), children are prepared for the Grammar Stage by learning how to read, use numbers, fit in at school, write letters, sing, build, and play. This is a time of exploration and discovery, in which the student uses all of his or her senses to grasp an understanding of the world around them.

Grammar School

Grades 2nd-6th

In these grades (2nd – 6th grade), students absorb facts and lay the foundation for further study, what classical education calls the grammar stage—learning the rules or basic facts of various academic disciplines that serve as the foundation for further study.

Logic School

Grades 7th-8th

In the middle grades (7th – 8th grade), students armed with facts and principles learn to reason and think logically through arguments, what classical education calls the logic stage.

Rhetoric School

Grades 9th-12th

In the high school years (9th – 12th grade), students learn to express themselves effectively using the written and spoken word, what classical education calls the rhetoric stage.
