FACILITY UPDATES + EXCITING NEWS! 


Classical Christian schools exalt the good, true, and the beautiful. Instruction in the fine arts is a priority at our school. We are so excited about our new Bluegrass Orchestra undertaking at Veritas Christian Academy. Bluegrass is a traditional form of music that has its origins in this part of the United States. Going forward all 8th and 10th grade Veritas students will spend a semester learning about the roots of Bluegrass, musical notation, and even how to play some Bluegrass instruments. The instruments are being provided for use in the class at no additional cost to our families. We are in the process of creating a team of special guest musicians who can come and assist our music teachers. If you are willing and able, we would greatly appreciate your help. Please complete this brief form. Check all of the boxes of the instruments you are proficient in and could give a few hours over the course of the year as a guest teacher.


We are so grateful at Veritas for our PTF (Parent/Teacher Fellowship). This fine group of servants is always a blessing to the staff and students at Veritas. Toward the end of the summer, PTF secured the skills of a few of our talented parents and they renovated the sports pavilion. WOW!!!


Everyone agrees that this was an amazing improvement. Please pray for, support, and consider joining our PTF.
