Veritas Academy Admissions
Admissions Policy (Click here to
download)
Veritas Academy practices a biblical
philosophy of admissions, not discriminating on the basis of
race, sex, color, or national origin in the administration of
its policies, admissions, scholarships, athletic, or other
school directed programs. Veritas Academy also realizes that
our classical, Christian-based, university model homeschool
supplemental program is not for everyone. Accordingly, we are
selective in our admissions policy.
Admissions Process
The steps below constitute our typical admissions process for new students,
which may be supplemented by additional interviews and requests for
information as necessary to ensure an informed admissions decision.
1. Submit an online expression of interest form. Once
a prospective student and their parents determine that Veritas Academy
is an educational option they would like to learn more about, they are
encouraged to submit an online expression of interest form.
2. Prayerfully consider the distinctives of Veritas
Academy. In response to the receipt of an expression of
interest form, prospective families will receive links to material that
they are encouraged to review prior to taking the next step of the
admissions process (electronic files or hard copies will be
sent if requested from the school office).
3. Attend an
informational meeting.
Periodically throughout the year, and with increasing frequency during
peak admissions times, informational meetings will be scheduled to help
prospective families learn more about being a part of Veritas Academy.
This informational meeting is designed to share more information about
Veritas Academy, answer the questions of prospective students and their
families, and provide a chance for families to see the facilities where
classes are held. At the conclusion of the informational meeting, an
admissions packet will be given to each family.
Out of respect
of our student’s safety and to ensure we maintain a constructive
learning environment, unscheduled “drop in” visits to the school are not
permitted. Classroom visits may be considered on a case by case basis,
but due to the disruption that can occur these are considered at the
school’s discretion. As an alternative, a family meeting may be
scheduled with individual teachers.

4. Complete an application and registration form for each
student and pay the family application fee. Complete
the online application and registration forms, print and sign the
parent/student
covenant, and pay an annual application fee of $200 per family.
Your application fee is fully refundable if your child is not
admitted to Veritas Academy.

5. Schedule placement testing (if
applicable). Upon receipt of the student
registration and application fee, reading or math placement
testing may be scheduled. Families are responsible for the cost
of any assessments that are required for proper class
placement. Placement testing may be waived if prior year
standardized test scores are provided and accepted by Veritas
Academy. Placement testing is required for: New students,
current students who aren’t in good academic standing, and
current students who desire advanced placement in math or
English.

6. Attend a family interview: The
final step of the admissions process is a family interview. The
family Interview provides the opportunity for you to have any
remaining questions answered, as well as allow the Admissions
Committee the opportunity to get to know you and your family
better. After the family Interview, the Admissions Committee
will consider all components of the admissions process and make
a decision regarding your application. Finally, you will
receive notification of the committee’s decision and
instructions to complete the registration process if your
student is admitted.
