College Advising

College Advising

In alignment with the Veritas Academy mission, the Academic and College Advising program seeks to support Christian families and their students as they prepare for higher education. The college advisors commit to give each student individual guidance throughout the college preparation process and to support alumni in their pursuits beyond Veritas. We desire that students and their parents experience God's leading through this process, and that the family will move forward with peace as the next journey begins.

Advising Mission
 

Students will continue their education for the glory of God in a context that best fits their unique talents, priorities, interests, and goals.

In 10th grade, students are invited to come on a college visit trip, and explore career interests through assessments and surveys.
