Experience a Veritas Summer

Dorm Life

The onsite accommodations allow students to build lasting friendships with a roommate. Onsite chaperones will ensure student safety throughout their stay.

Academic Enrichment

Students will appreciate learning at a higher level as they build on concepts they already enjoy. Options include math, language (including Latin), writing, and the arts.

Recreation

The beautiful Chisago City outdoors offer campers countless recreational options. Students can play ball at the beach, swim, cookout, hike or catch some fish.

Taste of Minnesota

Grilling in the summer! It’s a Minnesota thing. Campers will enjoy a wide range of healthy food choices from our local food suppliers – another Minnesota thing.

What Everyone Is Saying About Veritas

We want the best life for our child. A best life starts with a strong foundation. Veritas Academy is that foundation. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to choose Veritas.

Because of Veritas Academy’s commitment to students, my children are motivated to learn, they are challenged at their skill level instead of being held back due to their ages.

Transition from other educational models is seamlessly supported. Staff and teachers are proactive and caring to the smallest detail. Leadership goes above and beyond for ALL students.

Veritas Academy prepared my child for college. His biology professor said his papers are some of the best first-time college papers she has ever seen.
