The middle school years at Veritas Prep are foundational, introducing students to a broad spectrum of knowledge and skills.

Our high school program is designed to challenge and inspire students, preparing them for the rigors of college and the broader world. We emphasize the development of analytical and critical thinking skills, preparing our students to become thoughtful, well-rounded, and virtuous leaders.
