VERITAS CLASSICAL ACADEMY

What VERITAS CLASSICAL ACADEMY does

Veritas Classical Academy is a private K-12 classical Christian school founded in 2012 by Dr. David Kim in Fullerton, California. It delivers in-person education from Junior Kindergarten through 12th grade organized around the classical trivium (Pre-Grammar through Rhetoric stages) and integrated with a Reformational, Christ-centered worldview. The school reports 100% 4-year college acceptance, an average SAT score of 1420, three National Merit Finalists, and an OC Mock Trial Championship (2019), with a stated 10:1 class size ratio.

The school's product portfolio has three layers. The core is the in-person K-12 program. Around it sit supplementary offerings: the Pietas Program (experiential cultural formation across aesthetic, wisdom, and service dimensions), an after-school Space Program launched in August 2023 in partnership with Quest 4 Excellence that produced a student experiment flown to the ISS via SpaceX CRS-30 in March 2024, and after-school childcare priced at $5/hour. A second core product, Veritas Online Academy (VOA), extends the curriculum internationally — primarily to East Asia including Korea — via live online classes of 5-15 students in Math, Omnibus (history/literature), Science, and Rhetoric, with per-course pricing of $510. Subsidiary brand "VOA Korea" runs a Spring 2025 enrollment cycle.

The revenue model is tuition-driven (undisclosed amounts), supplemented by per-course VOA fees, after-school childcare hourly fees, and a structured six-tier donation program called the Veritas Fund (from under $500 to $10,000+). The school is privately held, founder-controlled, with no disclosed external investment. It is actively operating in the 2025-26 academic year and uses a direct-to-consumer enrollment motion combining campus tours, consultation-based admissions, content marketing (Headmaster blog, Veritas Podcast, social channels), and community referrals.
