VERITAS HIGH SCHOOL
Veritas High is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the Seeds of Health Inc school district, located in Milwaukee, WI with about 252 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 14 teachers, Veritas High has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
Veritas High School, located on West Oklahoma Avenue in Milwaukee, is a tuition-free public charter high school that operates under the Seeds of Health, Inc. umbrella. The school is specifically designed to provide a small, supportive learning environment that emphasizes personalized attention. By maintaining smaller class sizes, Veritas aims to foster strong relationships between students and faculty, ensuring that each student receives the academic and social-emotional guidance necessary to succeed in a college-preparatory curriculum.
The school’s mission focuses on character development, academic achievement, and post-secondary readiness. Because it is a charter school, Veritas offers a unique alternative to traditional large-district high schools, often attracting students who thrive in a more intimate, structured setting. Through its affiliation with Seeds of Health, the school integrates a holistic approach to education, aiming to prepare students not just for graduation, but for the demands of higher education and professional life beyond the classroom.
