I love Veritas because our school community is made up of the most joyful, loving, and considerate people I know. Our families hail from over 70 different churches and 10 different countries. During tragedy, we hang together. During triumphs, we celebrate joyously.

Why veritas

Veritas Academy is dedicated to raising up young men and women who seek truth and know that Jesus Christ is Truth. The Classical school model allows faculty to challenge students to think while it also exposes them to the traditions and ideas that have informed three thousand years of Western history. In addition, the teachers at Veritas see themselves as part of a learning community which encourages them to grow together in their work.

Credentials

B.A. Philosophy, University of South Carolina | M.A. Philosophy, Boston College

Why veritas

I originally wanted to teach at the college level. I decided to start a family and settle down. I looked for jobs that would challenge me and provide the opportunity not only to teach wonderful content, but to continue to grow in my own intellectual life. Veritas has been a place that has enabled me to continue to grow in my own intellectual life while helping students to love God's word and the great books in the western canon. I cannot imagine a more fulfilling career.

Credentials

B.S. in Systems Engineering (concentration in Management Information Systems), University of Virginia

Why veritas

Teaching at Veritas means that I can challenge my students intellectually and in Christ. Classical education does not make you choose between rigorous academics and teaching subjects with a Christian worldview. It points students to a love of the Lord and a recognition of His sovereignty over all. I am not forced to artificially separate subjects from each other into islands of knowledge but can easily point to the impact of history on science and the impact of mathematical discoveries on literature and societal development. I love the camaraderie of the faculty here at Veritas and the sincere desire each teacher has to care for our students and support each other as brothers and sisters in Christ. I also cherish the opportunity to see the student’s grow as students into young men and women in Christ as they journey through the grades at Veritas.

Credentials

B.M. Vocal Performance, B.M. Music Education - Temple University

Why veritas

I love Classical Education because the glory of God is the starting and ending point for learning. The desire to train up loving, serving, and thinking students is inherent in every subject. Having truth, beauty, and goodness woven throughout our curriculum is the most wonderful means to point each child in my classroom to Him who is the author of all that is true, beautiful, and good. Classical education also allows me to share my faith with my students, to pray with and for them and to share God’s truths - giving specific intentionality to the state of their precious hearts and souls as well as the shaping of their character. Classical education supports my hope for the boys and girls who have been entrusted to my classroom - that they will ultimately be not only my students but my brothers and sisters in Christ.

Why veritas

I love teaching at Veritas because I love the people. The administration and faculty that I have worked with for more than 20 years are the people who are passionate about more than the wonderful classical methodology of teaching children about truth beauty and goodness. They are passionate about the people-the families and children at Veritas. I am thankful that my family and I have been able to grow , to learn, and to serve in this community. Being able to teach first graders and to get to know their families has greatly enriched my life and I am thankful.

B.A. Spanish, Grove City College | M.Ed. in Spanish Language and Culture, James Madison University

Why veritas

I love teaching at Veritas Academy because of the people I get to work with every day. The faculty members, staff, administration, and parents are all on the same page when it comes to educating our students. We share a common worldview, and Christ is the centerpiece of that worldview. I love knowing that my coworkers are believers and we share the same faith. We can encourage one another on a deeper level and hold each other accountable. It creates a community like no other, and I find joy in going to work each day. I also love the classical Christian model. Because we are a K-12 school, I can see the impact of this teaching model from start to finish. Our little ones learn through chants, songs, and memorization. The middle grades learn to distinguish between logical and irrational thinking. And by the time the seniors are ready to graduate, they are well prepared to argue persuasively and do it in a way that is polite and convincing, something we should be doing each day as followers of Christ. We want to win others over to the faith. Each stage coincides with a developmental stage, and it makes sense. And in everything we teach our students, we point them back to Christ, so they can see how it all connects to the God of the universe. In addition to the content, I love being able to share my faith with my students, pray with them, and encourage them. What a privilege it is to have the freedom to connect with students in that way!

One of my favorite things about teaching at Veritas is the community.

While problems still arise, as we are all human, this common starting point sets Veritas apart from many otherwise exceptional schools.

Credentials

B.S. Education, Secondary Mathematics Education, Millersville University

Why veritas

Teaching mathematics and physics at a classical Christian school like Veritas Academy is a very rewarding and humbling experience. Realizing that most secular schools strongly discourage open references to the Christian faith, it is a joy to teach at a school where God is actually invited into the classroom. Just opening the class in prayer and asking God for direction and wisdom reminds us that there is a higher purpose behind what we are doing. We are able to praise God for His design in the mathematics classes that I teach and give glory to God for His creation in the physics class that I instruct. Teaching with a classical approach allows me to incorporate all three parts of the trivium in my instruction. I detail the language of math with its symbols and notation, the logic of math by explaining how and why it works, and the application of math by making connections to real-world examples. It is truly a privilege to be a teacher at Veritas Academy.

Credentials

B.A. Teaching English as a Second Language, Minor in French, Liberty University

Why veritas

Classical Education asks students to not be onlookers of learning but instead to engage with the learning process. When students become participants rather than observers, they are able to enjoy the task. The subject does not just stay in the textbook; it becomes a part of your schooling and helps you retain the material. Thanks to their Latin studies in grammar school at Veritas, students are able to understand terms such as number, gender, conjugation and infinitive. Once they begin to study a Romance Language (such as French, Spanish or Italian), they are easily able to move past these basic concepts and begin understanding another language. This is where the fun begins! Students are able to participate in a café setting or a cultural activity, all the while using the target language. Through this they can begin to see the beauty and creativity that God has given to the many languages of the world and to use them for his glory.

The atmosphere in the school is one of respect, kindness, and (especially on special event days) good cheer! Friendly debates often spill into the high school hallway between classes and it's common to hear students expressing genuine care for each other. It is a joy to be part of a community that values things that are true, worthy, and time-tested; I love teaching students who get excited to study Mozart and singers who appreciate the beauty of great choral masterpieces, both time-tested and contemporary.
