Why Veritas?
Teaching mathematics and physics at a classical Christian school like Veritas Academy is a very rewarding and humbling experience. Realizing that most secular schools strongly discourage open references to the Christian faith, it is a joy to teach at a school where God is actually invited into the classroom. Just opening the class in prayer and asking God for direction and wisdom reminds us that there is a higher purpose behind what we are doing. We are able to praise God for His design in the mathematics classes that I teach and give glory to God for His creation in the physics class that I instruct. Teaching with a classical approach allows me to incorporate all three parts of the trivium in my instruction. I detail the language of math with its symbols and notation, the logic of math by explaining how and why it works, and the application of math by making connections to real-world examples. It is truly a privilege to be a teacher at Veritas Academy.
