Mission & Vision

Biblical Truth. Classical Way. Abundant Life.

 

Biblical Truth

Veritas Academy believes God’s Word is the foundation for all learning. Our curriculum and teaching method provides students a comprehensive application of Scripture in all disciplines. Our goal is to assist each student in developing a Biblical world view by acknowledging that God is the Author of all knowledge and wisdom.

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”

— 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (ESV)

 

Classical Way

In partnership with parents, Veritas Academy is committed to the classical approach which corresponds to the developmental learning stages of children, building a natural progression of understanding in all subjects. This approach, called the Trivium, has three levels of learning: the grammar stage (acquisition of foundational facts in all subjects), the logic stage (question the way facts fit together through critical and abstract thinking), and the rhetoric stage (builds on the first two stages to learn to write and speak well). Our goal is for students to graduate with an ability to investigate, contemplate, debate and pursue knowledge.

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”

— Deuteronomy 6:4-9 (ESV)

 

Abundant Life

Veritas Academy provides challenging academic study within a nurturing community. Students are encouraged to develop their individual, God-given talents as well as to discover and fulfill their roles in family, church, community and the world beyond. Our goal is to graduate disciples of Jesus, lifelong learners, creative problem solvers, and servant leaders who are equipped to make an impact in their ever-changing world.

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”
