VOA is distinctive in that it is classical, Reformational, and rhetorical. As a classical program, it seeks to cultivate wonder, wisdom, and critical thinking in students. With a Reformational perspective, it seeks to show the sovereignty of God in creation, salvation, and providence, and the Lordship of Christ in every area of culture. With a rhetorical emphasis, it seeks to train students to become leaders through excellent communication skills.

Our faith commitment is summarized in our Statement of Faith, which reflects a summary of conservative evangelical faith. Our teachers are required to be a standing member of a conservative evangelical church, and teach from the perspective of a conservative evangelical, who subscribes to the absolute authority of the Bible for our faith and life, and other historical doctrines summarized in the Statement of Faith.

Although Veritas has been offering excellent classical Christian online classes for students in East Asia for four years, this is the first year we are offering it to the American audience. All of our teachers are Americans, experts in their field, experienced in classical Christian education, and men and women of deep Christian convictions. Because it is our first semester launching the program, we are flexible in arranging the schedule to the needs of the families that sign up. All classes are still M/W/F, but the exact hours are subject to modification after the minimum number of students sign up. If the final schedule does not fit a student’s schedule, the student will receive a full refund.

Students who fall outside the listed grade range may be able to register after a consultation with an Administrator, if they can prove that they are academically capable of handling the course.

Normally, Math classes will be 1-year long. However, in this first semester that we are launching the program, Math classes will review the material of the 1st semester, assuming that students have covered 1 semester of the course, and will cover the 2nd semester to prepare the students for the next level.

Omnibus is a Humanities class consisting of most literature, but also some history. Usually, some literature pieces are historical fiction, and/or students may also read short historical documents that complement a fiction that is read separately. The goal is to appreciate classic literature in a broader context of history, as well as from a biblical perspective.

Our high school courses are accredited with the WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges).

For Part Time students, Veritas provides the report cards, but the homeschooling parent makes the transcript and has the final say on the grades. Veritas Online Academy offers both tracks: 1) “a la carte”—you choose the courses you want to incorporate into your overall high school program, 2) as well as a Full Time program, which we are aiming to begin in the Fall of 2025. Those who take the Full Time track and who fulfill all the graduation requirements from VOA will receive a high school diploma from Veritas. If students are Full Time students at Veritas, we can provide a high school transcript.
