The Veritas School, founded in 1998, is a vibrant Christian community dedicated to providing a nurturing, challenging educational environment for your children. With a strong mission statement that instills the commitment that The Veritas School exists to equip a new generation of Christian leaders to think and live biblically, our staff and faculty seek to cultivate students by encouraging academic and spiritual development in every activity. God is working through our school community and we invite you to consider joining us on our journey.
Step inside and experience the excitement and energy of a day at The Veritas School. It is our hope that parents as well as students reap the benefits of this unique education. The wonderful dialogue that can happen in a family as a result of an “ordinary” day at school is amazing.
The Veritas School sees itself as an extension of the home as well as a support agency for local churches. A Veritas education is an education that recognizes our children as image-bearers of Christ, and assists the individual in realizing their God given potential. The school becomes an aid and support to the local churches and the parents in raising their children in the “nurture and admonition of the Lord.” (Genesis 1:26-27; Deut. 6; Eph. 6:4)
We consider it a cultural mandate to involve the whole person in all of life. In the beginning, the Lord God entrusted to humanity the cultural enterprise of bringing all things in subjection to Him for His glory. We must love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength as we see to bring every thoughts captive to the Lord Jesus Christ. This mandate involves all of Creation – there is nothing that exists apart from the claims of our Risen King. Thus it is our privilege to train, disciple and nurture our students toward this end; so that in everything Christ has pre-eminence as the individual seeks to understand his or her role in God’s kingdom both now and forever. (Genesis 1:28, Psalm 24:1, Deuteronomy 6:5, 2 Corinthians 10:5, Colossians 1:16-18)
Modern secular education has a man centered view of the world and teaches every subject from this perspective. Christian education at The Veritas School is God-centered and teaches every subject from that point of view. God is creator and sustainer of all things, the One who gives beauty and order to life. He is in sovereign control of all events, directing history toward the final Day of Judgment and redemption. (Psalm 19:1, John 1:1-5)
Our goal is to equip students with the knowledge, skills and vision necessary to be effective leaders and servants for Christ in a wide variety of professions and vocations. With that in mind, our purpose is not to prepare students to “get a job” or to “succeed in a career”, but to glorify God ; to help them hear Christ’s calling. Like the first disciples of Jesus, we want our students to see all of life as a calling from the Lord, a vocation in the highest sense. Thus, their marriages, jobs, hobbies and friendships are all a part of their mission, which is to advance His kingdom. (Matthew 28:19, Romans 12:1-2) We see to raise up a generation of young people who have a genuine love of learning, who love Jesus Christ will all their hearts and minds, and who can articulate the Christian message with clarity, creativity, and power.
