Developing Servant Leadership
Juniors and seniors can apply to join Student Service Honorary Societies. These groups serve the community by doing everything from tutoring to cataloging books, from reading books to younger students to setting up and helping with science labs. Students who wish to apply for one or more Service Honoraries must maintain a high standard of academics and character.
Storytelling Comes to Life Through Acting
Classical christian education values stories. After all, consider how many times Christ used stories to teach his messages. Stories stick with us, and theater provides kids a memorable way to experience storytelling. Grammar School Drama Club seeks to tell a good story, equip students to pursue the art of theatre with excellence, and cultivate a community of engaged families through drama games, crafting, and staging. The students audition, practice, and perform a full-length play at the end of the club year.
Grammar School Sports
Each season brings a different opportunity for our younger students to grow in fitness, enjoy friendly competition, and learn athletic skills. Boys and girls in grades 3-5 can enjoy cross country in the fall, basketball in the winter, and volleyall and soccer in the spring!
Student Government
Upper School students are chosen to serve as representatives on the school’s Student Government, which plans events, service opportunities, and more for the secondary school. This leadership position helps students grow as individuals as they work together with their peers to further the Christ-centered culture at Veritas Academy.
