Despite its name, Veritas Christian Academy of Houston is located at 7000 Ferris St. in Bellaire. This classical Christian school works hard to create a culture that promotes its five core values: academic excellence, character formation, Biblical literacy, classical foundation and intentional engagement.
Classes at Veritas begin with pre-kindergarten and continue through fifth grade. The school prides itself on its strong Biblically integrated curriculum with core requirements emphasizing language, science, math, and history and literature classes taught within the classical tradition. With only 200 students, Veritas classes are close-knit and have a favorable student-to-teacher ratio.
Distinctive Veritas programs include art, drama, logic, design thinking, technology and local and international cultural expeditions.
Cultural expeditions are extended field trips that begin in fifth grade. Parents and students alike rave about these thrilling expeditions. In fifth grade, students go on a Texas history trip while sixth graders scope out Washington DC and seventh graders travel to New York and Boston. To cap off their final year at Veritas, eighth graders visit London and Oxford.
Veritas scholars are encouraged to try all sports and join athletic teams during middle school, while they are also exposed to the arts through music and theater.

We are beyond thrilled to be a part of this school. Our daughter has thrived at Veritas. The rigorous academics in the setting of a Christian worldview is exactly we wanted. The student-to-teacher ratio is the best I've seen and the community of parents and teachers warms my heart on a daily basis.

Small christian /religious school with excellent classical education based curriculum . Our kids are really happy there! Very supportive staff and families/parents. Also very diverse which was important to us. So happy we found it.

the teachers teach more than subject . some of them are interested more in field trips and sports than in teaching. teachers are lazy, when the students ask for help they tell them to look for examples at the books. English and science teachers are so lazy.
