The Verita International School Difference

We understand that the world is becoming a more connected and complex place. Education needs to be more than the just simple transfer of knowledge. Students need to become independent thinkers, problem solvers and innovators.  At Verita, we cultivate the skills that allow students to become the leaders of tomorrow.

The Verita student is global, interdisciplinary, and boundaryless. They challenge what is possible and find solutions for what is impossible. They are empowered for an unknown future. 

How We're

Different

Emotional Intelligence

We leverage social-emotional learning methods & curricula to empower students to comprehend & manage emotions so they can ultimately channel them into self-awareness & management, decision-making, and resilience skills.

Inquiry-Based Learning

A teaching approach that builds on the idea that educators and students both share responsibility for learning. Students’ questions, ideas, and observations lay at the core of the learning experience. Inquiry methodologies require students to engage in evidence-based reasoning, learning by doing, and creative problem-solving.

Low Student - Teacher Ratio

Verita classes reflect our student-centric philosophy with an impressively low student-teacher ratio of 1:9. The small size of our classes, combined with our inspiring & highly qualified teaching faculty guarantee that students get independent attention and tailor-made differentiated support.

Well-being

Verita actively builds internal programs that promote student and staff well-being. We ensure a space where students feel physically and emotionally safe with a caring adult looking after the progress and acting as an advocate for each child. Most importantly, we ensure that kindness is the center of everything we do.

Service Learning Projects

Verita students must participate in meaningful community service which exposes them to active engagement within communities or environments in need. Using curriculum objectives and innovative approaches, our students work on real-world problems.

Student Agency

Verita promotes skills in students where they build their own, self-directed learning abilities and strategies, allowing them to develop a higher degree of autonomy and self-mastery. Student agency is “the ability of students to act independently within a given environment and assume an amount of control and empowerment”.

  • Our school had a beautiful celebration of Greek Independence Day today! 

It was amazing to witness our students learning about the history of our country and reciting poems and singing songs in honor of the occasion. We believe in the importance of educating our children, whether about their own heritage or the heritage of where they live, and instilling pride in these cultural traditions. It was heartwarming to see the students come together to celebrate and honor our past. We are proud of our students and the meaningful learning that took place today! A special Thank You to our Greek language teachers. 💙 🇬🇷

  • "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle was a big hit with our Nursery students, and it was amazing to see how engaged they were with the sensory play and fine motor skill activities we incorporated into the lessons. The children were able to experience the story in a whole new way, using their senses to explore different textures and colors, and improving their fine motor skills as they manipulated the materials. Our children learned about the life cycle of a butterfly, about healthy eating and nutrition as a part of their IEYC unit, while also developing their sensory and fine motor skills! 🐛🦋

  • Spring has arrived and it's the perfect time to dive into the world of plants and sustainability at school! 🌱🌸🌼 

In Year 6 IPC, students explored the biology of plants and understanding the impact of sustainable practices. Students gathered Parsley plants from their field trip to a working farm, learned about soil and watering systems, nurtured their plants in a special hydroponic pot they created, and today, we planted them in our school garden.

  • Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Our Early Years students had fun celebrating with some face painting, outdoor art, and shamrock hunting today. Let's all take a moment to appreciate the magic of childhood and the power of imagination. May the luck of the Irish be with you all today! 🍀🌈

  • Reading is a joy that children of all ages can experience! Whether a toddler or a teen, discovering new stories and learning through books is a wonderful adventure. Let's celebrate the power of literacy and the joy of reading at every stage of childhood and inspire young minds to embark on their own literary journey. 📚💫

  • As we navigate an uncertain future, it's important to consider the role of education in shaping tomorrow's citizens. 

With the rapid pace of change, it's no longer enough to simply learn once and then stop; we must be willing to unlearn old ways of thinking and relearn new ones in order to stay relevant and succeed in a constantly evolving world. We must now prepare our children to be global citizens who can not only adapt to, but also collaborate with, intelligent machines to solve complex problems.

Teaching children to love learning, to be curious, and to think critically will be essential in ensuring they can thrive in the future. As AI becomes more prevalent, the ability to learn how to learn and embrace new technologies will be even more crucial. Let's work together to create a world where education fosters a lifelong love of learning and prepares our children for any challenge that comes their way.

The Verita Learning Adventure ?

The National Curriculum of England is our core curriculum.  We introduce Fieldwork Education’s IEYC, IPC, and IMYC frameworks to provide a deeper interconnected, interdisciplinary, and intercultural learning experience.  Emory University’s Social Emotional Ethical program and Second Step’s Mindfulness curriculum are weaved throughout the curriculum.

Verita ensures that all students meet the rigorous milestones and objectives of the National Curriculum while providing exciting inquiry-based learning opportunities in parallel. 

We believe that through inquiry, active learning, and the development of emotional intelligence in a safe environment, all students are capable of mastery of knowledge, skills and understanding.
