Purpose

The purpose of Veritas Classical Schools is to help mold students into thinkers, young men and women who do not simply “regurgitate” the information they have been fed but rather who analyze, critique, and affect the world by applying biblical wisdom to their lives, families, and communities. Veritas Schools offer homeschooling families a unique complement to their home study programs by providing one day per week of classroom instruction, with an emphasis on classical as well as traditional subjects taught from a distinctly Christian perspective. It is our goal that Veritas students learn to THINK, biblically and logically, not just to blindly memorize seemingly unrelated and irrelevant facts required to do “well” on tests. The Veritas student is taught to be a lifelong learner, to consistently evaluate and critique relevant issues, and to always seek to skillfully communicate his thoughts. All students at Veritas Schools are taught factual and philosophical truth, are taught to evaluate the messages they are receiving from the world around them, and are taught to defend their beliefs in a persuasive manner.
