Veritas Christian Academy (VCA) is a Christian high school serving northwest New Jersey and the surrounding regions.
VCA is the Christian high school that pursues excellence. Our ultimate pursuit of excellence is for our students to be more Christ-like.
As the only ACSI accredited high school in Northwest NJ, we offer 27 dual-enrollment courses in a variety of subjects from Bible to sciences to public speaking.
Our full-time teachers are not only Bible-believing Christians that adhere to our statement of faith but also boast graduate degrees in their area of expertise.
Our "Total Release Performance" philosophy in sports pushes our student athletes to perform on the field and for the glory of God and produces championship teams across basketball, soccer and baseball for both our men's and women's teams.
While 80% of a high school student's time is spent at school, we view the local church and family as part of our three-pronged approach of helping develop students for Christ.
