Reprinted below is an unsolicited letter from Kathleen Moore, a member of our second graduating class, addressed to future Veritas students and any student/parent considering Veritas Christian Academy.
Dear Future Veritas Students:
This is the most unique school on earth because it is not just a school. It is a family. These people love one another and watch out for each other. That is what makes it special. When these teachers educate, it is so we will be fully ready for life in all aspects. It is one of the weirdest places you will encounter. That is because it is one of the few places that everyone is invited to be themselves. We are allowed to be quirky and it makes our times together that much more enjoyable and memorable. Where else do students go to Bible study at a teacher’s house, or a movie with kids from four different grades and a couple of teachers, or ask their teachers out for dinner? Where would a Latin teacher have a few students over to his house to learn how to shoot a bow and arrow?
As slightly adapted from a Robert Frost poem (Birches):
“Veritas is the only right place for love, I don’t know where it is likely to go better.”
Basically, this place is the best school, house, church, etc. Cherish your days here. You will be glad you did. There is no replacing it. Love your teachers, respect your friends, do your homework, and finish strong.
