The entire staff and administration at Veritas provide a warm and welcoming community for foreign students. Mr. Keating and Ms. Ostrander offered outstanding guidance and support and made the transition from Canada to the US seamless. Coach McGhee was found a loving host family for my son. The basketball program at Veritas is world class. This school deserves higher accolades for their commitment to athletics. With staff and coaches that treat each student like family I am certain that their athletic department will gain the recognition they deserve in the years to come.

Veritas is a great school for those who want a smaller atmosphere. It's great as you can build personally relationships that last throughout the years (which is great for those college recommendations!). However because of how small it is, it may not be so great for kids who need A new feel coming everyday to school

I did not have a very good experience. The administration has a horrible discipline system and has no problem of accusing students of wrong doings that did not occur. There are so many other issues I had during my three years at this school. I would not send anyone there.

This school touts diversity, but it's pretty much all about basketball. If you follow their social media, all they tout is their basketball program. If you're not good at the game, I'd stay away. The teachers are pretty cool, but seems to leave each year. The school is located in a field, so it's pr...

I absolutely love my time here sf Veritas. I was given an opportunity to transfer to another school, right across the street, and glad I did not leave.

My daughter has attended Veritas for 8 years and started in kindergarten. I am also a teacher at another school so curriculum was extremely important to me when selecting a school. Veritas has the best curriculum for developing a student who is a critical thinker and leader while also being well rou...
