    "I am a parent of my boy who went to veritas. Veritas is the worst school in the worls my kid come's home from school everyday and say's to me 'Dad why di u put me in that school I hate it I absolutley hate it'. Evreyday that happens. He struggles everyday with homework spends three hours doing it and he still get's D's and C's. All veritas teaaches you is some socartic method which i think is useless. There is no tech. what so ever and the extracurricular activities are a joke. Very Very Poor."

    "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, there are no electives. Not every child has the talent to sing/act and choir/drama are required. This affects their GPA. The other problem is the facility itself, the classrooms walls are bare due to the restrictions imposed by the church they rent from. The 'lunchroom' is extremely crowded and only will get worst as the grades get more students in them. This is an excellent school especially in literature, math and language. For the lack of equipment/labs, if your child is interested in the sciences you might have to look elsewhere."

    "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, my teachers were more like parents who were required by law to refrain from showing parental sentiment toward their children, yet still were as internally dedicated to their children's success as any other parent. In essence, I didn't have teachers - I had true mentors who wanted to make sure I loved what I was learning because, in reality, it is what allows us to truly love life. I doubt any other school could have given me this confidence of my own mind's ability."

    "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, teachers really know their students well enough to teach difficult material effectively to students with different strengths. I can't imagine a better middle school/high school experience for my children. They work very hard and have a significant amount of homework, but they have maintained their extracurricular activities (about 15 hours/week) and they see the benefit of what they've learned far beyond the letter grade and evaluation that comes home to mom and dad; they feel they are being prepared to live full and satisfying lives. Veritas has been a great place for my children."

    "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 old child should also make time for music or sports activities. This school didn't even make time to say The Pledge of Allegience in the morning. We're looking at other options for high school."
