Mission, vision & values
Why Veritas exists.
The mission of Veritas Classical School
Veritas Classical School prepares students to evaluate human knowledge through a biblical worldview and engage the world equipped to discern truth, appreciate goodness, and recognize beauty.
Core purpose
A classical K–12 Christian education for St. Johns County.
Veritas was founded to provide classical K–12 (Trivium) Christian education for the greater St. Johns County region. The founders believed in the value of the classical approach to education: educating minds and teaching people how to think, not what to think. At the heart of this conviction was the passion for the integration of faith and life, where Jesus Christ is the unifying idea in Christian thought and life.
Veritas was founded with a two-part vision:
- that students here would love learning, engage culture, impact society, know the Truth, and appreciate goodness and beauty, and
- that our graduates would be used by God to shape the culture, equipped with a classical Christian mindset and values, facing the challenges of the world with confidence and grace, and being part of God’s great story of making all things new.
The Veritas vision
Graduates prepared for their calling.
The ultimate vision for Veritas is that the world is impacted for Christ and the kingdom of God advanced through our graduates who have been uniquely prepared for their calling.
Core values
Striving to glorify God in all things, we hold these values as essential.
Biblical Worldview
Jesus Christ is the unifying idea in Christian thought and life, and every subject is taught in the light of absolute truth.
Classical Scholarship
Educating minds and teaching people how to think, not what to think, through the time-tested Trivium.
Servant Leadership
Following the One who came not to be served but to serve, in the classroom, on the field and in the community.
