Classical · Christian · Kindergarten through 12th grade
Admissions
We offer the children of St. Augustine an exciting and distinctively classical and Christian education. Our students are cultivating their love of learning by asking great questions, so that they may develop virtue and poise for the sake of Christ and His work through them.
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.”
Read our mission and Portrait of a Graduate, then send an inquiry. We will invite you to see a school day.
The online application takes about 15 minutes, plus a report card, test scores and any 504/IEP records.
Veritas schedules a placement assessment to determine eligibility and grade placement.
After reading Shaping Hearts and Minds, parents meet with the school for an interview.
Is Veritas the right fit for your family?
We are not just a school that also teaches Christian values. Faith is intentionally woven throughout every aspect of a Veritas education. Children learn each subject by learning its root in absolute truth through both scripture and tradition, and families are encouraged to attend our chapel service each week.
A time-tested approach used for over 2,000 years: a biblical worldview (Paideia), methods based on the natural phases of student development, the seven Christian virtues, the Trivium and the Great Books. We teach students not merely information, but how to think.
Smaller class sizes let students build relationships beyond a single school year. Friendships continue from year to year, and previous teachers remain friendly faces in the hallways. Students learn their own value as whole persons, created by God and thriving in Christ.
Transparency and intentionality guide our partnership with families. With an open-door policy, you will never wonder what is being taught. Parents volunteer at recess, in class, on field trips and around campus. You are an important piece of the vision.
