Are the teachers at Veritas Academy certified?
Teacher certification is usually based on standards provided by the public school system. Some of our teachers have certification due to past experience working in public schools or as a result of taking required courses for such certification while in college. The board and administration consider the spiritual and intellectual attainments of the faculty to be better guides to teaching ability than state certification. We are, however, committed to the certification guidelines of the Association of Classical Christian Schools. We are involved in the ongoing educational growth of our faculty. Our teachers attend conferences and seminars, take university level classes, conduct independent studies, and in some cases, study abroad (in Italy, for example.) Most of our secondary faculty have college, university, or seminary training at the graduate level. Attendance of a lecture or sitting in on a class discussion should convince anyone of the intellectual competence of our staff.
