Veritas Academy is a college prep school that truly partners with parents to affirm their role as the primary influencers in their children's lives. By employing a university-style course schedule in which students are on campus two to three days each week and complete professional instructor- prepared lesson plans at home on the alternate days, the model provides families with much needed time together. Academically, the school delivers a college preparatory level of rigor via a classical liberal arts and sciences curriculum infused with a Christian worldview. An ever increasing offering of elective and extracurricular courses and activities provides students with the opportunity to explore and identify–then develop a mastery of–their unique, God-given interests and abilities. Coming alongside the parents, we focus on developing the character of each student in order to accomplish our purpose of equipping children to become courageous leaders who live purposefully and passionately for Jesus Christ. Veritas opened in 2005 with 130 students in grades K through 5. We currently serve almost 350 students in grades K-9 with a commitment to continue adding one or more grades per year through 12th grade. For the 2008-2009 school year, our students come from over 200 families in Austin and 17 surrounding towns covering almost 40 ZIP codes, and they represent over 60 Christian churches in central Texas.
