Veritas Classical School (FL)

Veritas Classical School is a sought-after K–12 classical Christian school serving more than 300 students in St. Augustine and the surrounding area. We partner with parents to cultivate students who love God, love others, and love learning—students who are equipped to seek truth, recognize goodness, and appreciate beauty. Through a Christ-centered classical education, we seek to form the whole child—mind, heart, and soul—for a life of faithful learning, meaningful service, and lasting impact. Every day, our faculty strives not only to teach these ideals, but to model them before our students.

The classical Trivium—Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric—is woven deeply into the DNA of Veritas. We are proud to offer a K–12 education in which each stage builds intentionally upon the last, preparing students to think deeply, reason clearly, and live faithfully. Our graduates have gone on to thrive in college, earning admission to and succeeding at highly regarded institutions. Veritas continues to attract exceptional teachers from across the country who equip students to think critically, expansively, and independently; cultivate the tools and desire for lifelong learning; and faithfully engage their communities in service to the Kingdom of God.

Veritas is known as a genuine faith community of families, teachers, and learners. Veritas students are energetic and engaged as they experience the joy of learning. We believe that a school is a garden, not a factory, and at Veritas we seek to cultivate the students in our garden with love and grace, while providing rigorous academics steeped in the truth of God’s Word. We seek daily to display the fruit of the Spirit and to serve others, not only at school but also beyond in our local community.

Veritas is located in the historic coastal community of St. Augustine, the site of Ponce de Leon’s landing in North America in 1513, where travelers today still visit the legendary Fountain of Youth. As the nation’s oldest city, St. Augustine is known for its beautiful beaches and its rich history and cultural heritage. It is home to Flagler College, a liberal arts institution ranked 2nd among regional colleges in the South whose campus is the historic Ponce de Leon Hotel built by industrialist Henry Flagler in the 1880s. With 225,000 residents, St. Johns County has a median age of 43 and is one of the top 10 fastest growing counties in the United States. For the eighth consecutive year, St. Johns County has been rated the healthiest county in Florida, and St. Augustine was recently named Southern Living’s Best Foodie Destination. Veritas is uniquely situated in a thriving community of young families and rich educational opportunities.
