Why Choose Veritas Academy?

We are Classical in Approach
We are committed to a classical approach to education.  The Classical approach is based on a system developed in antiquity. It consists of three stages and is generally referred to as the Trivium.  We are committed to coming alongside parents in teaching their children how to learn, not just facts and figures.  Modern education focuses on teaching subjects. Classical educators focus on teaching students the tools of learning in preparation for further study of subjects after high school. "For the sole end of education is simply this: to teach men how to learn for themselves; and whatever instruction fails to do this is effort spent in vain." (Sayers, The Lost Tools of Learning) (more...)  

We are Christian in Mission
We are committed to the fact that Classical Christian education is historic, biblical education.  Jesus Christ is the chosen and precious cornerstone upon which classical Christian schools are built. (Acts 4:11, I Peter 2:6). He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” He prayed for his disciples and asked His Father to “sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” (John 17:17). For education to be true, it must include Jesus Christ and acknowledge the truth of Scripture. Classical Christian educators teach truth to students and live truth before students by acknowledging that God’s word is relevant to each subject and to every activity.

We are a Community in Purpose
We are a close-knit community of families seeking to faithfully obey the commands of Scripture concerning the raising and educating of our children.  We seek to help parents obey Paul’s instruction in Ephesians, “And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition (the paideia, i.e., the rearing of a child, training, discipline, and chastening) of the Lord.”  We understand that God gave authority and responsibility for raising and teaching children to parents, not to schools. When children are taught well and consistently by parents, churches, and schools, good fruit is often borne in the lives of students.
