Veritas Academy is a private classical Christian university-model school in Southwest Austin, Texas. It represents itself as being "a private, classical, college prep school that seeks to train hearts and minds for the glory of God through rigorous curricula, character education, competitive athletics, fine & performing arts, and an array of extra‐ and co-curricular activities.",[2] offering primary and secondary education from preschool through twelfth grade. Through eighth grade, students are partially homeschooled, with parents acting as "co-teachers" that assist with teaching and assessing students.

Veritas Academy operated on the property of Austin Oaks Church until 2018, when it moved to a new, permanent campus on Escarpment Boulevard.[3] Since the new property is located on the Edward's Aquifer, only 39 acres can be developed.
