Veritas is proud to offer rolling admissions. Because seats are highlighted and in high demand, we encourage parents to take action as soon as they are confident in their decision to enroll their child. Class sizes are limited, and once a class is full, students are added to a waitlist.

By ‘classical’ we mean the methodology of the Trivium, which seeks to identify appropriate analogies of grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric in all subjects, and to teach all subjects in a manner consistent with the appropriate stage of development of the child. We also regard classical education in the context of the classical search for wisdom and virtue through the pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty. If you would like to understand more about classical education, read Dorothy Sayers’ The Lost Tools of Learning.

Language study is important at Veritas. In PreK3–2nd grade, our students enjoy a gentle, age-appropriate introduction to language study through French instruction. The study of Latin is a central part of our classical core. All students begin studying Latin in the 3rd grade and continue this study until they graduate from Veritas.
