"Two weeks after switching [our son] here in 6th grade, we asked if he had any complaints...and he said his big complaint was that we hadn't switched him four years earlier." [Watch full video here]
What would it look like for your child to truly thrive at school?
To bubble with excitement over the history she's learning. To wake up eagerly looking forward to a day with teachers and classmates. To practice his newly-honed logic skills with lively, thoughtful dinner table discussions. To devour literary masterpieces with gusto and a critical, understanding mind.
At each stage of learning, from kindergarten through graduation, the Classical Christian Education model of the Trivium capitalizes on the natural, God-given strengths and propensities of kids as they grow.
Coupled with immersive learning, passionate teachers, fascinating curriculum, and a vibrant community, it all translates into a deeply joyful learning experience.
We welcome you to come see it for yourself!
The Veritas Academy Open House is March 14, where you'll meet teachers and students, explore classrooms, and enjoy a fun morning of activities for kids, too!
This is the kind of deeply satisfying education experience we live for at Veritas.
A joyful learning atmosphere doesn't have to mean simplistic schooling. Having fun in the classroom shouldn't equate a less challenging curriculum. In fact, we believe the opposite is true.
Students find the greatest joy in learning when they have the opportunity to soak in greater knowledge, to tackle tough problems, to engage in studies that call them to stretch their capacities and grow in understanding. That's why, even though the "fun" and "joyful" atmosphere is so often cited in parents' and students' description of our school, Veritas still boasts impressive SAT scores (1258 average, 150 points higher than state average and among the highest in Lancaster County) and consistently sends graduates to competitive, first-choice college programs. 100% of our 2020 graduating class are going on to the four year college of their choice.
Yes, we may have established a sort of reputation of rigor, but don't mistake that for drudgery and dryness. As one alumni said at a recent event, "When I was in college, I would hear classmates complaining about high school and I would just want to tell them 'Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry for you! I loved high school so much!' I would go back if I could!"
