The Veritas Classical Academy in OK has adopted an unusual way of teaching and educating, and their unique teaching methods are gaining extensive recognition in several areas around the country. At the Academy we have been able to successfully combine traditional as well as modern teaching methods. In light of the fact that the OK home school has taken on a Christian-based curriculum students are taught Christian values and these same values are enforced by parents who spend their time teaching the OK home school curriculum at the home. The benefits of this type of schooling have shown to be very favorable and as such, there are other schools in the country that are looking into how they can too adopt both formal and home school teaching into their curriculum. Veritas Classical Academy is, however, not only a leading OK home school, but traditional classroom education is offered two days a week at the school, and the remaining three days of the week are used for home-based schooling. This method of home schooling allows parents to become involved in their child's education and at the same time, the shortened hours of formal classroom teaching has allowed Veritas Classical Academy to offer affordable fees, while at the same time, they can offer good quality private tuition.
The students of the Veritas Classical Academy are required to wear school uniforms as it has been found that a uniform creates a more disciplined atmosphere, and once children are in school uniform, we have found that social and class barriers are broken and the child's confidence is greatly enhanced. Families who have enrolled at Veritas, and who are involved in OK home school have noticed that this type of alternative schooling can offer a large number of benefits and parents are happy to play a greater role in their child's education, and because the Academy offers a part-time formal teaching session in a classroom setting, children can then develop their social skills and they are given the time to interact with their friends and peers. A lot of parents may feel daunted by home schooling and in many cases, parents feel that they do not possess the right qualifications or experience to handle home schooling, but being part of our OK home school, parents are given all the resources and information which they need and the days that are spent home schooling are usually used to reinforce and go over the lessons that were taught at the school.
The method of Veritas teaching and learning has allowed students to enjoy the best of both worlds and as such, students enrolled for OK home school have achieved exceptional results. On our website, www.veritasnorman.org, we have posted a number of frequently asked questions that relate to our OK home school curriculum along which questions that relate to the school, such as fees, details on scholarships and how to apply for acceptance to Veritas Classical Academy.
