Elementary aged students are eager to learn and absorb information, so we deliver curriculum in ways that lay the foundation for advanced study.
As students begin to analyze the world around them and question "why", we teach them formal logic and the correct methods of reasonaing.
The culmination of the process of learning brings knowledge and understanding together to be expressed wisely and persuasively.
At Veritas Collegiate Academy, we enjoy a diverse faculty, many of whom have advanced degrees in their field of study and many years of educational experience. Most importantily, every member of the Veritas faculty professes their faith in Jesus Christ and desires to care for our students both academically and spiritually.
