What Veritas Christian Academy Inc does

Veritas Christian Academy Inc is an independent, non-denominational, PreK–12 classical Christian college preparatory school founded in 1998 and headquartered on a 9.2-acre campus at 17 Cane Creek Road in Fletcher, North Carolina, between Hendersonville and Asheville. Its educational model is built on the classical Trivium (Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric) integrated with historic Biblical Christianity, delivered through the Paideia approach (Socratic seminars, intellectual coaching) and supplemented by Latin instruction starting in 3rd grade, a full year each of informal/formal logic and rhetoric, a senior thesis defense, a Common Arts program (carpentry, culinary, wilderness leadership), and a Rhetoric School house system. The school operates three divisions: Grammar (K–5), Logic (6–8), and Rhetoric (9–12), plus the Explorers PreK program, plus three specialized offerings: the Scholé Studio (learning support for students with dyslexia, learning differences, or high-functioning autism), the Veritas Civitas Program (homeschool enrichment), and Camp Veritas (summer camp).

The revenue model is tuition-driven with annual fees ranging from $8,288 to $18,007 depending on grade band, billed annually across the school year, with an additional $50 non-refundable application fee and $150 enrollment deposit. Recurring ancillary streams include after-care ($15/day), after-school clubs (Art, Spanish, Chess, Carpentry, Soccer Shots), need-based tuition assistance administered through FACTS Grant & Aid, and an Annual Fund solicitation operated through Factsmgtadmin for facilities and operations. Distribution is a direct admissions process (online application, campus tour, student testing, family interview) targeting Christian families in Western North Carolina, with the school explicitly identifying as a Discipleship Model Christian school requiring at least one professing-Christian parent.

The school is a nonprofit governed by a Board of Trustees (including co-founder Dr. Gary Prechter) and led by Headmaster Eric Woernle, with division principals, a Business Manager, Athletic Director, Admissions Director, and Scholé Studio Director forming the operating bench. The institution has acquired an additional 11 acres adjacent to its campus for future expansion, and reported record enrollment and athletic participation entering the 2025–26 academic year.
