Junior: St. Edward Central Catholic High School is a good school overall. Teachers here care more about your education than teachers in public schools because there are less students. Overall, St. Edwards is a close knitted community consisting of people who care about their students’ education. Despite that, there are downsides of this school. This school isn’t as diverse as I’d like it to be, and truth be told, diversity is a fundamental factor in a child’s education and how they turn out. Apart from that, I think despite how advanced our school is to public school, it offers less opportunities than public schools sometimes. Many people talk about all these various programs, classes, and extra school curriculares that public schools have to offer. Our school does not have a lot of these, and it’s mainly because our school is not funded by the government. Sometimes, I can’t help but feel like I’m missing out on some of these opportunities....

Alum: Veritas School is academically rigorous, which prepares students for college. They stick to the Classical Christian method very well. Students read so many great books and are taught how to write and speak well. The teachers are wonderful. They really care about the students and focus a lot on building good relationships with the students. They have a lot of great options for music and the arts. Students are given the option between choir, strings, and lots of different types of art (things like ceramics and painting). The athletics are pretty good for Veritas being a smaller school. Their XC teams won the DII State Championship. Veritas just got a new soccer field. The campus is beautiful and very well taken care of.... Read 26 reviews

Alum: Top notch faculty and administration, and a great appreciation for global international thinking and performance. The school emphasizes the importance of independent thinking and expression, while still maintaining a strong sense of community. Veritas allowed me to grow into the person I am today. It put me in challenging situations that have benefitted me overall and put me on the path to success. One of my most unique experiences: while at Veritas, I had an opportunity to study abroad at the campus in Beijing. What an experience! I highly recommend my alma mater. #alwaysaspartan...
