Curriculum

It is our goal at Veritas Academy to satisfy our distinctly classical, college-preparatory academic agenda with rigorous and relevant curricula. We solidify our curricular choices by evaluating them using the following criteria:

Academic validity, accuracy, and excellence as supported by the classical approach to education

Firm grounding in biblical absolutes to allow ease of biblical integration throughout all course materials

Parent-friendly, teacher-directed lessons with a secondary component of experiential, hands-on activities as a means to solidify previously imparted knowledge

Classical education expects more from its students than a basic mastery of a set of subjects. It holds firm to the traditions of Western culture in viewing all subjects as inextricably linked, each in its way expressing some fundamental truth about God and the universe He created. As characterized by the grammar stage of classical education, Veritas Academy emphasizes the accumulation of basic facts through the use of authentic literature and resources within the chronological progression of historical time periods.

Language Arts

The goal of the Trivium is mastery of language. A large portion of our curriculum is devoted to reaching this goal.

History

History, Literature and Theology

History is the framework that gives shape to the Classical philosophy of education. All other subject content is organized around the chronological study of historical time periods. At Veritas, students study history in three cycles. In the School of Grammar, students learn 32 events each year (2nd-5th grade) from creation to the present. The focus in theses years is the memorization of the timeline through songs that include the events and dates. In the Schools of Logic and Rhetoric history, literature and theology are integrated into one discussion-based class in which the students cover the scope of history two more times with a focus on reading through the primary texts and classics of literature and theology. Some of the History curricula we use include:

School of Grammar: Veritas Press History Cards, Story of the World, Art History
School of Logic: Western Civilization by Jackson Spielvogel, Veritas Press Omnibus I-III
School of Rhetoric: Western Civilization by Jackson Spielvogel, Veritas Press Omnibus IV-VI

Science

At Veritas, our School of Grammar students attend a full day of science classes and workshops one Monday per month. It equals the same amount of class time as they would attend in a month, but having a full day allows adequate time for all of the learning and hands-on projects. Our School of Logic and School of Rhetoric students have science class every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and use the Apologia text book series.

Extracurricular

Veritas Academy offers various extracurricular activities that occur outside of the regular school hours, including:

Competitive team sports for high school (S.A.A.A.) and middle school (T.I.A.L.)
Special interest clubs (e.g. Chess Club, Girls on the Run, Latin Club)
Other enrichment activities (e.g. hand bells, tennis, ballet)
To see what we currently offer please visit our Activities tab

If you or anyone you know is interested in contributing to the start-up of any such activities, please contact us.

School of Rhetoric

Grades 9-12 are some of the most important formative years in a child’s life. Children tend to solidify their belief system amidst the struggle with incorporating the foundational principles that they have learned previously with the present realities of a Godless world. At Veritas, we seek to assist parents in training up children in the way that they should go so that when they are old, they WILL NOT depart from it. As such the Rhetoric phase of life at Veritas seeks to focus on the following ideals:

Loving the Lord with ALL your heart, mind, soul and strength
Loving your neighbor as yourself
Humility

The fear of the Lord
Owning one’s faith
Defending one’s faith
Learning to think with Godly wisdom

The School of Rhetoric is the culmination of the trivium. In the Rhetoric Stage, students take all they have learned in the Grammar and Logic Stages and learn how to present themselves in a wise and winsome manner. The emphases of all classes in the Rhetoric Stage are writing and speaking well. In addition to the classes listed below we offer various fine arts courses.
