The Veritas Classical League (VCL) is an after school program that is open to any interested students fifth grade through high school.  It is separated into two divisions- Parnassus League (5th grade) and Olympus League (6th grade and up). VCL is an official chapter of a nationwide organization called National Junior Classical League (NJCL), first formed in 1936. It’s our effort to help ambitious Veritas students enter the arena of academic competition in the areas of Latin, mythology, Greek and Roman culture and geography, and more.

Debate (High School)

Drama (7th-12th grades)
The Veritas Theatre Program has a long tradition of excellence, putting on many notable performances over the years.  Currently, the program puts on two productions a year involving 7th-12the grade students.  In the program, students learn to delve into their character and to bring that character to life on the stage.  In addition, the students enjoy bonding with their fellow actors and are educated in the process of putting on a stage production.   Recent past productions include 1001 Arabian Nights, A Christmas Carol, 39 Steps, Sense & Sensibility, Sherlock Holmes, and Julius Caesar. For more information, contact Joshua Smith.
