What makes Veritas Classical Schools unique?
1. Veritas Classical Schools recognize that God has ordained parents as the agents responsible for the academic and spiritual nurturing of their children. Veritas Classical Schools assist homeschooling parents by partnering with them.
2. Students attend classes one day a week. Experienced teachers present new subject matter and skills. Students participate with other students in lively discussions and activities. Recess and lunchtime are important too, for the development of friendships and social skills. Our small classes are nurturing and encouraging for students of all levels.
3. Parents do not need to spend a lot of time selecting curriculum and organizing it for their school days. That has been done for you. Parents can concentrate on their children, not on the organization of each day's work.
4. Students do assignments at home as directed by the teacher. All students receive an assignment sheet to help them know exactly what they need to do. Younger students will probably need help from their parents to complete their work, but most students are quite independent by fourth grade.
5. The curriculum integrates the following subjects: Bible, history, literature, composition, geography, grammar, study skills, logic, critical thinking, and vocabulary development. All classes are taught from a distinctly Christian perspective.
6. Parents do not stay with their children on class days. Many moms enjoy this day to spend time with younger children, plan for the week ahead, work at a part time job, or perhaps even to enjoy coffee or tea with a friend.
7. Students are responsible to the teacher for their assignments. Some students find this more motivating than turning in work to their parents. Upper level teachers record grades each week on a special website where parents can access them at any time. Report cards are issued each semester. Students learn important skills such as working independently, organizing their work, and turning assignments in on time.
