Veritas Christian Academy
School Notes Overview:
Centrally located in the Bellaire area of Houston, Veritas Christian Academy serves students from four years old through the eighth grade. Rooted in our Christian faith and grounded in the love of learning itself, Veritas offers a challenging, well rounded, liberal arts program of study that nurtures the growth of every academic discipline. Small class sizes allow our students to learn at an accelerated pace. Our primary objective is to enable each student to reach their full potential in Christ. Veritas serves as an extension of the Christian home, actively seeking to involve parents in every phase of the student’s development. We believe and teach that children must learn how to live before they are asked to make a living, and seek to build character before they strive to build a career. In this aim we will shape lives that will shape the future. To accomplish our task, we seek students who are eager to learn and willing to work; parents who are partners in our task; and educators who are lifelong learners, called and gifted to teach, prepared to match precept with example. Veritas is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) ...
