What comes along with an education at Veritas Academy ? What is its value? As a father of three students, I ponder these questions just like everyone else. This last week I was interacting with a second grader. The group that we were both in had just finished praying. She said of a certain teacher, "She really taught me about godliness. She taught me that when someone prays you need to be praying with them in your head--agreeing." She nodded her head to show me what she is doing in her heart. "I do that all the time now." The child left. She went off to play or eat or do a multiplication table. Who knows? I just sat there. I count my educational experience as a student as fairly positive. I had some good teachers and some average ones. None ever taught me like this, however. The best thing about this story was that the little girl had no idea that what she had experienced was extraordinary at all. She thinks that this is what every teacher does with her students. I was so proud to be a parent at Veritas Academy . Know that as your children have experiences like this one, as they take them to heart and practice them "in their heads", they will thank God for learning lessons like this while they are young.
