Dear Parents,

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Like you, I am a parent of school-age children—children we are training to become mature adults.

Like you, I want to bring up my children “in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” I strive to encourage them to grow in grace, wisdom, understanding and knowledge, as they learn to take “every thought captive to the obedience of Christ” in all aspects of life.

To this end, and in partnership with many other Christian parents and friends, I have worked over the past several years to build a school that specializes in developing godly character and leadership in young men and women, while providing a first-rate academic education.

Parents tell us we have succeeded. The Lord has graciously provided excellent teachers for our students, under the leadership of Headmaster Greg Hardie, and we are now seeing the fruit of our labors.

We desire to share this fine staff with an expanding number of families and churches in Silicon Valley.

For the foreseeable future, we have moved to Campbell, where the First Baptist Church has graciously agreed to lease us space on their campus, space which is adequate for us to expand to cover grades K-12.

In determining how best to offer Christ-centered instruction, we have looked to the methods employed by those who have sought to live and teach in submission to the Lord and to His Word, rather than looking to the latest worldly fads.

Thus we have turned to time-tested methods that can be best described as “classical”: Teach the fundamental rules of a subject (“grammar”), then help students understand the fundamental relationship of particulars (“logic”), and finally help them to express clearly what they know of the grammar and logic of the subject (“rhetoric”).

Now I invite you to prayerfully consider applying to Veritas Christian Academy. Please call (408) 984-1255 or click here to contact us for more information or to set up a time to meet with us.

May the Lord guide your steps.
