Chesapeake, VA
Our founding campus of Veritas is located in northern Chesapeake, near the border of Virginia Beach. The school is closely located to areas in Norfolk, Virginia Beach and Chesapeake. The academy itself was established in 2003 in Chesapeake, Virginia, by Sean and Maria Elgut. Mr. and Mrs. Elgut, seeking a high performing Christian school for their five children, was inspired by an emerging Classical Christian movement. In 2002, Sean Elgut attended a teacher training seminar in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, organized by Veritas Press. This experience laid the foundation for Veritas Collegiate Academy.
