Veritas Press
A classical Christian homeschool publisher in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, offering K–12 parent-taught kits, self-paced online courses for history, Bible and Omnibus, and live online classes through its accredited Veritas Scholars Academy.
What is Veritas Press?
Veritas Press is a classical Christian homeschool publisher based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It says it has served more than 100,000 families over 30-plus years. Its online school, Veritas Scholars Academy (VSA), was founded in 2006 and is accredited by the Middle States Association.
The core idea is the classical trivium: memorize facts in the early grades, learn logic in middle school, and argue well in high school, all through a biblical lens.
How Veritas Press works
You choose a format for each subject:
- You Teach. Parent-led kits with open-and-go lesson plans, books and teacher materials.
- Self-Paced. Online courses with animated characters, costumed actors, games and auto-graded quizzes.
- Live Online. Small VSA classes that meet twice a week, recorded in case your child misses one.
Most families mix and match. A common setup is You Teach for phonics and math, Self-Paced for history and Bible, and live classes for Latin or Omnibus in the teen years.
In a Self-Paced history course, each of 32 key events gets five lessons of about 30 to 50 minutes, usually one event per week. Students use 32-card flashcard sets and memory songs alongside the videos.
What it covers
| Stage | Grades | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Grammar | K–6 | Phonics Museum, Bede's History, five-course history cycle, Bible, Latin |
| Logic | 7–9 | Formal logic, Omnibus I–III, composition |
| Rhetoric | 10–12 | Omnibus IV–VI, rhetoric, apologetics, upper math and science |
The five history courses run from Old Testament and Ancient Egypt to 1815 to the Present. Omnibus combines history, theology and great books for teens.
Who Veritas Press is best for
Veritas fits Christian families who want a full classical path and like having options. The Self-Paced history courses are especially good for independent kids in grades 2–6.
It's a weaker fit for secular families, for tight budgets, or for anyone who wants one boxed program per grade at one price.
Pricing at a glance
As of October 2026, Self-Paced history courses cost $249 and Self-Paced Bible courses $199. Flashcard sets are $29. The Phonics Museum Kindergarten Kit is $190. Live classes start at $579 per course, plus a $95 non-refundable deposit. Self-Paced courses have a 45-day money-back guarantee.
Can a scholarship or ESA pay for it?
Possibly. ESA programs such as Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account and Florida's FES-UA often allow curriculum and online courses, and some cover private online school tuition. Each program decides, and some limit religious materials. VSA also offers its own financial aid.
