Visit
Open Houses begin each fall and provide an opportunity for parents to hear directly from school administrators while touring campus and receiving an overview of how our academics, schedule, and partnership may be a great fit for their family.
Please note that applications for admission are only made available to those who have attended an Open House, with both parents—and any additional family member who may be helping in the co-teaching role (like a grandparent)—needing to attend an event, as well as complete the required parental reading, prior to scheduling a family interview.
Required Parental Reading
As we get to know one another better, the following books/resources provide valuable insight into Veritas Academy and our heart for discipleship and education. Furthermore, affirmation of our Statements on Faith, Life & Conduct is a prerequisite for the submission of an application.
- Veritas Academy Statements on Faith, Life, & Conduct
- Veritas Informational Packet (provided at Open House)
- An Introduction to Classical Education, A Guide for Parents by Christopher A. Perrin, M.Div., PH.D.*
- Free to Parent by Ellen Schuknecht and Erin MacPherson*
*These books are available for purchase from the school office, at an Open House, and online. Please know that you may begin the required parental reading at any time, however, it must be completed by both parents prior to scheduling a family interview.
Required Student Reading
- So Your Parents are Thinking of Sending You to a Classical Christian School by Joshua Gibbs
The required student reading is for all students applying to enter grades 8-12 and is a very practical overview of what makes classical, Christian school and education different from other schools. The pamphlet is available at an Open House and must be completed prior to a family interview.
Apply
After attending an Open House and prayerfully considering your family’s needs for education, we invite you to complete an Application for Admission. Upon submission of the application, families will be able to schedule next steps, including Placement Testing and a Family Interview before receiving an Admissions Decision.
Please note that applications for admission are only made available after attending an Open House, and that due to the model of our school, we are unable to accept applications after the start of our annual Paideia Week, which is detailed below.
Upcoming Application Deadline:
Thu, June 1, 2023
Admissions decisions will be emailed on the afternoon of Monday, July 10, 2023, after all prior steps of the admissions process have been completed. Following an acceptance offer, you will be invited to enroll and submit a course request for the upcoming school year, due by Friday, July 21.
If we do not have openings in your child’s grade level but believe your student and family are a good fit for our school model, we will keep your child’s application active until the start of our annual Paideia Week in August and let you know if any seats become available before that time. While it is always our preference to accept a family together, it is possible for one child to be accepted and another to be placed on the waitpool. The waitpool is unranked and starts over each admissions season, with students needing to reapply for the next school year if desired.
Applications received after the dates listed above will be processed on a rolling, space-available basis. Waiting pool applications may be accepted after a grade is filled.
Prepare for the School Year
Order books, uniforms, etc. and submit medical records
The beginning of summer is a good time to prepare for the upcoming school year by purchasing school uniforms and textbooks and scheduling doctor’s appointments for immunizations, screenings (vision, hearing & scoliosis), and sports physicals. You should have all your books purchased and all health/medical records submitted before New Family Orientation.
Attend Paideia Week | AUGUST 7-11, 2023
Paideia Week is held each summer to equip, educate, and inspire the Veritas community, and attendance is required for new students, families, and faculty/staff. While both parents are invited to attend the week, the parent serving as the primary Co-Teacher will need to attend all trainings/sessions scheduled throughout the week, as they are designed to equip you in your new role and partnership at Veritas Academy.
All NEW students and all Kindergarten, 5th & 9th grade students will attend orientation on Mon, Aug 7. Childcare for enrolled PreS/PreK will be available Mon-Wed, Aug 7-9.
