[edit] History
Originally named Douglas County Christian School, the school opened in 1978. As the years passed, the school grew and in 1998, the pursuit of academic improvement was enhanced by the implementation of a classical method of instruction.[1]
With the start of the 2004-05 school year, Veritas added 10th through 12th grades and began offering education opportunities for students from Kindergarten through 12th grade, thereby offering a complete educational process for children. Students benefit from a highly trained and qualified staff and a wide range of course offerings. On-site library and computer lab facilities provide opportunities for educational support and practical application. Students also enjoy the playground and open areas for recess activities, the multi-purpose room for P.E. and school assemblies, and a hot lunch program.
[edit] Academics
Each year, Veritas students take the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT). In recent years, Veritas student test results have been 3 grade levels above the national average.[1]
[edit] Tuition
All students attending Veritas Christian School are required to pay an annual tuition.
