An entrance assessment allows us to compare applicants to our current students and helps us to determine if there is a good fit. Test scores are only one part of the application process. The entire application consists of teacher and principal/director recommendations, previous grades and standardized test scores, and the visit/interview - which are then reviewed by the Admissions Committee individually and as a group.
 
 
Admission Committee decisions are typically mailed in mid-March for those applying for first-round consideration. Thereafter, all applications will be considered once all required documents have been received, and families will be notified shortly after.

By ‘classical’ we mean the methodology of the Trivium, which seeks to identify appropriate analogies of grammar, dialectic and rhetoric in all subjects, and to teach all subjects in a manner consistent with the appropriate stage of development of the child. We also regard classical education in the context of the classical search for wisdom and virtue through the pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty. If you would like to understand more about classical education, read Dorothy Sayers' The Lost Tools of Learning.
Foreign language at Veritas is considered core to our classical curriculum.
