Applications for 2024-2025 open November 1, 2023
Admissions for the 2023-2024 school year is now closed. Due to our unique model we do not take transfer students mid-year. School Information Meetings and tours will open in October 2023 for the 24-25 school year and applications open November 1. Plan to apply early as we have very limited space.
Admissions Process
1. Attend an Information Meeting: Parents are required to attend an information meeting about Veritas Academy of Tucson prior to Admission. These meetings are held at scheduled times on campus during the year.
2. Application: If, after reviewing the school material and praying about the decision, you are still interested in pursuing our school, then please complete the online application. The date your application is received will be used in determining registration priorities over other new students. There is a $125 per student application fee required at time of submission. This fee covers the admissions process and is kept to a minimum since this fee is non-refundable.
3. Parent Interview: This step involves an interview with a member of the Admin team and a Board member. The purpose of these meetings is to make certain that each family has had an individual opportunity to have their questions answered regarding our school, as well as to certify whether Veritas Academy of Tucson is the best fit for the family. A member of the Admissions committee will contact you to arrange the interview.
4. Placement Testing and Evaluation: Academic courses offered require placement assessments for students. Once a satisfactory application has been received and the parent interview has taken place, placement testing will be scheduled.
5. Letter of Acceptance: The Admissions committee will email each family indicating their decision. The family will formally accept this offer by completing the online enrollment packet and submitting all required documentation. In the unfortunate event that your plans change and you need to withdraw your child from VAT, please see our withdrawal policy on the website under Admissions > Tuition and Fees.
Admissions Policies
Veritas Academy of Tucson makes individual courses available for parents to select for their children upon admission. Each student who completes on-campus courses will have a transcript on file with the school. A copy of this transcript will be made available to the student’s parents upon request.
Veritas Academy of Tucson is only accountable for courses selected and administered on campus. Any course instruction received at other schools or instruction provided through home education is the responsibility of the parent. Students may apply for transfer credit for courses taken through an outside source. Credits may be granted if they are in accordance with our school’s credit-transfer policies.
*All Kinder applicants must be 5 years old by September 1
