Veritas Christian Academy at 17 Cane Creek Road, Fletcher, North Carolina.

My daughter entered Veritas last year, in 5th grade. She has been challenged by the academic expectations (which I appreciate) and welcomed into the Veritas family. Her teachers have been wonderful, caring not only about grades but also about the students. My daughter's art teacher was incredible last year, and this year she is enjoying a drama elective. There are opportunities for participation in sports starting in middle school, including tennis, soccer, basketball & volleyball. The school really does have a family feel, in part because the administration is careful with the admissions process. The parents and staff are NOT all Baptists (maybe not even 50%) -- but we do all hold to "Mere Christianity," to use C.S. Lewis' phrase. We are excited about our son beginning at Veritas next year, and highly recommend this school to those who value an excellent Christian education in a loving atmosphere.
