Veritas Academy

Fortitude is not learned from avoiding the battle. It is forged in it. Our battle scars have prepared us to teach our students what it means to stand with courage, perseverance, and faith, and we enter this new school year battle-tested, armed, and ready for whatever lies ahead.

Grounded in Truth. Guided by Wisdom. Marked by Virtue.

What does it mean to set your child up for life? It means looking ahead, and helping them see what’s possible.

Give them a strong foundation at Veritas. Challenge them to aim high. Put people and possibilities in front of them.

Our partnership with MIT’s calculus team gives Veritas students the support they need while opening their eyes to what may be possible for them.

We are expanding!

This fall, Veritas Academy will begin classes at our new Saint Paul campus while we complete repairs and improvements at our Chisago City campus.

We’re excited to welcome students and families to Saint Paul and to continue serving our communities through Christ-centered, classical education.

Grounded in Truth. Guided by Wisdom. Marked by Virtue.

Knowledge and skills have their place, but Scripture tells us to seek wisdom above all else.

The greatest investment we make in our children’s education is in the kind of people they become.

Two years went by more quickly than I expected. Although our cohort has completed the program, none of us seems quite ready for it to end. We’re already talking about continuing to meet, perhaps soon, to discuss Nolan’s *Odyssey* alongside Homer’s *Odyssey*.

I’m proud to be associated with the CiRCE Institute, and I especially love the personalized journal.

It’s that time of year again! Our macroeconomics policy debates are officially underway, and it’s something I look forward to every year.

In this process, students demonstrate their understanding of macroeconomic principles and concepts, apply the logic skills they have learned to build strong and sound arguments, and put their rhetoric training on display in the delivery of those arguments.

Four weeks.
Four policies.
One winner of:

The Cicero Award for Eloquence and Wisdom

The award is named after Marcus Tullius Cicero, the Roman orator who believed that eloquence without wisdom is dangerous, and wisdom without eloquence is inefficient.

This award is given to the debater who best combines persuasive rhetoric with sound, logical, and truthful arguments.

I am so proud of these students and look forward to this every year.
