VERITAS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY: A NATIONALLY CERTIFIED PAIDEIA SEMINAR SCHOOL

On Tuesday, March 15, 2022, a visiting team from The National Paideia Center was at Veritas to evaluate our school as a candidate to become a Nationally Certified Paideia Seminar School. 

I am grateful to our amazing staff for helping us achieve this major accomplishment. We had been at this on a low-key approach for three years.

While here, the team observed eleven seminars from Grammar school through Rhetoric school. They observed pre-seminars, seminars, and post-seminars in process. They considered three main areas, (1) Teaching and Learning, (2) Leadership, and (3) School Culture, as well as thirty-five sub-component areas.
 
We received special commendation in several areas....
THE CLASS OF 2022 EMBARKS ON THEIR JOURNEY TO GREECE

Over Spring Break, our Seniors went on their trip to Greece! Thank you to all who helped support them in their fundraising efforts over the past few years to help make this possible. This was "the trip of a lifetime" and a perfect capstone to their education at Veritas!

ABOUT THE AUCTION AT GALA

Veritas will be having two simultaneous auctions. One will be a live auction, where Gala attendees can bid on items at the event and through an app called Qtego.
 
The other will be a silent auction, and anyone can bid on the items through the same Qtego app. The rules of the auction are the same as other auctions, the highest bidder wins!
 
There will be an auctioneer going through the items at the Gala, and it will be fast-paced and fun!
 
NOW.... for a teaser of our auction items!

GRANDPARENTS' DAY

We are so excited to have our grandparents back on campus with us on April 22, 2022, for our annual Grandparents' Day program!

Parents, we need your help with 2 things:

  • If you have not done so already, please forward this link to all grandparents (or a designated stand-in) so they can RSVP for this event. If easier, you are welcome to sign grandparents up instead of forwarding the form to them. 

  • Additionally, if you would like to help us prepare for this beloved event, please click here to sign-up.
