Lost Tools Podcast

Lost Tools is presented by Veritas Christian Academy. Veritas is a private school with Classical Curriculums that are rooted in Christian Foundations and operate as a three-day University Model institution. This podcast is dedicated to exploring the foundations and praxis of Classical and Christian Education. It's main intention is to bridge an information gap existing in our current and potential families. Since Classical Education is something not wholly known by most, it is our desire to give our parents a robust understanding and insight into the "hows and whys" of our teaching methods. We feel it will be beneficial if our parents both know and support our methodologies. The podcast is led by two of our educators who are actually involved in the curriculum and day-to-day lectures. So, it is in fact a true behind the scenes look for our Veritas Community.
