Ms. Ariana Gruber earned a minor in Biblical Studies and a bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Biola University. Post-grad, she spent a year teaching ESL in South East Asia to children and adults, as well as many years nannying and teaching Sunday School and AWANA. Ariana began at Veritas in 2021 as the Kindergarten teacher's assistant, and has since moved into the role of Junior Kindergarten teacher. She believes strongly that the Lord loves the little ones and wants a relationship with them. There are none too young to come to Jesus and love Him. She is excited to share the gospel and teach truth, beauty and goodness in Christ and through scripture every day to her students. Classical Christian education has especially captured Ms. Gruber's heart as the fullness of education with God in the center and as the Creator of all. She is an observer of nature and loves to guide her students to observe and delight in all God's creation. She collects rocks and minerals, which is her favorite expression of God's realness, strength, and love of beauty. Her favorite Bible verse comes from Isaiah 26:3-4 "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD God is an everlasting rock."
