Info
I have a son at Veritas and he has been able to keep up w/ the rigorous work and does several sports and music outside school. The teachers for the most part are very dedicated and caring. Great parent support and a great group of kids overall. The issues that we found is that the curriculum is too restrictive, ...  Read more

I graduated from Veritas in 2008, and though only a short time has passed since then, it is easy for me to recognize just how valuable my years there were. You don't learn what to think at Veritas - you learn how to think and why you should think deeply and seriously about the world around you. At Veritas, ...  Read more

I have two children attending this school. Both began in middle school and have continued on into the high school years. There are high expectations for students but there is also much support. Because class size is small, and the school itself is very small by comparison to it's typical public counterparts, ...  Read more

This school is indeed a superior school--as far as academics goes. Unfortunately, all my son did was study. He never had time to practice a musical instrument or go to youth group meetings at church. And forget about playing any sports. The love of learning is so important, but I believe a 12 year ...  Read more

We have a daughter who has attended Veritas for the past four years and we (and she) have been extremely satisfied with her experience. Veritas is characterized by dedicated teachers and administrators, by students who bring with them (or who have developed upon their arrival) an enthusiasm for learning, ...  Read more

This school is about learning and respect. Unfortunately, the public school system has abandoned both of those ideals. This school is bringing them back. I have seen more intellectual growth in my son in 1 year than in any other school over 6 years. Every public school in Arizona should be watching ...  Read more

In some ways, Veritas discipline is overly strict. When do these kids ever have fun? Not during the school day, that's for sure. Some of the teachers, although they appear to be highly qualified in their fields, do not 'teach.' Children are expected to read the chapter, answer the questions in the ...  Read more

Honestly, this is a very good school academically, I had a son that went there. There are also many negative aspects however, the major one being that the children at this school miss out on the social aspects of highschool.

My yougest child achieved the highest test scores of her academic career after completing her second year at Veritas. Furthermore, her student generated work revealed real intellectual growth. At her previous school faculty and administration seemed to think that standardized testing 'said it all' ...  Read more

Our child informed us that in spite of obtaining A's throughout her academic career in math, she didn't really 'get it.' At Veritas, the seventh grade math teacher made sure that she 'got it'. She had high expectations and, as she told the students, wanted them to know the 'why' of math, not just the ...  Read more
