Overall Veritas Academy is a very diverse community with resources that help non English speaking students as well as clubs and programs such as soccer club and the goals program. The school faculty including teachers is not the best the the teachers are supportive and nice from experience if you struggle with work they tend to cooperate with you and find. Solution like early or after school tutoring for a certain subject. There's isn't much AP classes or courses in general but it's safe to say there's options in general even thought it's not a great amount.

Veritas Academy has a warm atmosphere if you hang out with the right people. The classes range from 15-20 students.

I would like that Veritas Academy encourage their students more in the college prep, have more opportunities to improve their resume for the application, I believe that many things can be done but it doesnt only depend on the students, it is also a problem that professors should try to change too.
