Veritas Press is a homeschool curriculum provider offering classical Christian education from kindergarten to 12th grade. They focus on the Trivium method, which adapts learning to how children develop naturally.

As of 2024, 12 states have enacted universal or near-universal Education Savings Account (ESA) programs, with Arizona's program alone serving over 75,000 students — making state-funded homeschooling more accessible than ever (EdChoice, 2024). Classical education has seen a surge in popularity, with the Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS) reporting a 25% increase in member schools between 2020 and 2024 and growing adoption among homeschool families.

What is veritas press?

Veritas Press started in 1998 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They offer classical Christian education for kids from kindergarten to 12th grade. Their teaching method follows the Trivium. This means they teach in three stages: grammar for young kids, logic for middle schoolers, and rhetoric for high school students. In 2006, they launched the Veritas Scholars Academy, which now has around 475 students and is an accredited online school. Families can pick from parent-led lessons, self-paced online courses, or live classes with teachers.

Signature programs

The Omnibus program is central to Veritas's curriculum for older students. It's a six-year cycle that covers theology, history, and literature using the Great Books—from Gilgamesh to Shakespeare. This program blends subjects often taught separately, all from a Reformed Christian viewpoint. The Phonics Museum offers a fun, multi-sensory reading program for K-1 kids, while History Timeline Flashcards help anchor elementary history with catchy images and songs.

College preparation and results

Veritas Scholars Academy is accredited by the Middle States Association, the same group that accredits schools like Princeton and Penn. They are also NCAA certified for student athletes. A key part of their program is the Senior Thesis course. Here, students research, write, and defend a major paper before experts. Graduates have gone on to schools like Harvard, MIT, and Yale. In 2022, these graduates received an average of $54,000 in college scholarships.

ESA eligibility

Veritas Press is an approved ESA provider in 12 states: Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, New Hampshire, Virginia, West Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina, Utah, and Wyoming. Their MSA accreditation helps families qualify for various scholarship and ESA programs. In some states, ESA funding may cover the cost of their courses. Reach out to their consultants for guidance on your state’s specific requirements.

The bottom line

Veritas Press offers a rigorous classical Christian education with flexible options for families. Parent-led courses come with detailed plans, so you don't need to be a classical education expert. Self-paced courses have videos for visual learners, and live classes let professional teachers take the lead. While it may cost more than many other curricula, the accreditation, strong college placement results, and growing ESA eligibility make it more accessible for families.

Co-founder, BetterSchool

Lisa is the co-founder of BetterSchool and a homeschool mom of three. BetterSchool administers the largest independent homeschool community in the country — over 350,000 families across all 50 states.

When COVID hit, Lisa and her husband pulled their children out of school and hit the road. Homeschooling wasn't the plan — it was a necessity. But somewhere along the way, the family fell in love with it: the time together, the ability to tailor lessons to each child's interests, learning at their own pace, the freedom to travel, eating healthy on their own schedule, and the countless other benefits that come with homeschooling.

As they traveled, Lisa kept discovering incredible hands-on learning experiences that most homeschool families had no way of finding. She built BetterSchool to make it easy for every family to find and book the experiences that make learning come alive.

Through her community, Lisa has helped hundreds of thousands of parents navigate homeschooling, while also helping local businesses find and serve the homeschool community. She is the former managing partner of a law firm focused on business law and mergers and acquisitions — BetterSchool is her second technology startup. She holds a J.D. from California Western School of Law and a B.A. from Penn State.
