I cannot say enough good things about Veritas! This is our 7th year having a child there and our experience has been great. Our children are daily being challenged academically, building sweet friendships, having their eyes opened to the beauty and goodness of God in the world around them, and are led by a staff who genuinely cares for them. The school embodies a culture of grace, kindness and excellence. Our family has benefitted greatly from the rich community made up of staff and other Veritas families. I wouldn't want my children to be anywhere else.

Most amazing school, teachers and community. We currently have 3 children at Veritas - our oldest just transferred in for high school (absolutely loving it). We have been at Veritas for 7 years. The teachers go above and beyond and meet each child where they are academically. The faculty and staff partner with the parents in such a loving, kind and caring way. All of our children enjoy being a part of the athletic programs. We feel so blessed that our children are attending Veritas!

Absolutely love it!!! I love seeing our son grow daily not only in his academics but more importantly in his faith as God's Word is weaved into all they do at Veritas.

We have been extremely pleased with Veritas. I have three children attending there now. Each one is dealing with different challenges and while being approached according to their need and level of acumen, they are all receiving excellent care, challenging teaching, and the reinforcement of the good character that we strive to teach in the house. The campus is beautiful. The curriculum and extracurricular activities inside and outside the classroom are well rounded. The annual grandparents day is something that my parents look forward to participating in. It seems that everything done at Veritas, is done with excellence. I am so grateful to have my children attending this school and I would highly recommend it.
