A classical program places a primary emphasis on the teacher-student relationship. At Veritas, we understand that teachers are our greatest asset.
Veritas faculty members are carefully selected to fulfill the mission of Veritas in the classroom. We seek individuals who have a mature walk with Christ, are called and love to teach young people, have a commitment to life long learning and have experience and expertise in their subject.
