Co-curricular activities
Veritas is pleased to offer a growing number of co-curricular after-school activities. Each connects to the quality of the education, and Veritas students and their families tend to jump on these opportunities.
Grades 4–6
The art club is ordinarily for Veritas 4th–6th grade students to hone their skills, develop techniques and build portfolios. The club also provides an opportunity to create bonds as students learn how to work together through group projects to bring beauty to our school. Students also learn soft skills through leadership, with elected office positions within the club.
Grades 6–11 · Spring semester
The club was built by and for students who wished to perform, and traditionally has a student president as well as a faculty advisor. Drama class during the school day begins in 7th grade and does not require participation in Theatre Club. Students have a role in choosing the production they perform and even what part they will play.
The cast builds from a play read-through in week two or three to a fully prepared performance in late April. The performance is open to the public and is ordinarily family friendly and suitable for all ages.
Veritas Fine Arts
Private lessons in piano are offered outside of the school day with two accomplished teachers.
Mrs. Ross attended Trinity College of Music, London, and read musicology and music education at the University of York. She finished her BA at William Woods College and earned her MM in piano performance at Texas Christian University (home of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition), where she continued for three years as a teaching assistant. She has recently returned to teaching piano and is thoroughly enjoying seeing her students’ progress.
Director of St. Augustine Piano Academy, Dr. Zhang is a pianist, collaborator, pedagogue, and researcher who has served on collegiate faculty and is passionate about group and private piano instruction. She holds a Doctor of Musical Arts in piano performance and pedagogy from the University of Oklahoma, a Master of Music from the University of Alabama and a Bachelor of Music from Virginia Tech, and has won first prize in the Orbetello International Piano Competition (2022) and the Great Composers International Competition (2017).
