Why a Classical Christian Approach to Education?

Our children spend roughly 12,000 hours in school. From the time they start kindergarten until they graduate high school. How they spend it matters to us. Our approach produces uncommon young adults that are loving, serving and thinking. Children that are unique in their aim to follow Christ and influence culture for generations to come.

We Prioritize & Appreciate Great Books, Art, & Stories.

By reading widely at Veritas, students are taught to engage with arguments and assumptions from different eras in order to develop their moral imaginations. Our curriculum focuses primarily on the classics, including Homer, Augustine, Dante, and Shakespeare, to name a few. These are books that deal with age-old questions and experiences that all humans share, such as "time" and "justice". They form the intellectual, cultural, and spiritual foundation of our Western Civilization. Reading them allows us to enter the Great Conversation, rejoicing in great truths and analyzing major errors.

“My teachers always had goals for me beyond what they could see and measure. They did not merely want me to pass a class, progress to the next grade, graduate, succeed at college and become an excellent employee. All of those things take work and are true accomplishments, but I am blessed that my teachers always kept a different person in view than the student in front of them.”
