Veritas Sports Academy Opening in Kernersville

There is a new high school opening in Kernersville for grades 9 -12. 99% of the students are invited to play a sport. It will be a "Prep" school so there are no limitations on practice time. They have baseball, basketball, golf and wrestling. They will add football next year.

What do you think about the concept?? Does anyone have any information on Veritas Sports Academy??

 

They have a very strong Headmaster in Terry Moffet formerly of Wesleyan Christian in High Point. Don't know much about the coaches. I hear good things. I think they are currently operating out of a church until a building is completed. I know many kids that are going to start there or have applied. They come from varied academic backgrounds. Obviously school is not accredited yet. Many will be watching to see how the academics develop. Has gotten a lot of good publicity around here. Lots of celebrities endorsing it such as Shaun Alexander of the Seahawks. Many people clamored to either get in or figure out how to get in. Everyone looking for the latest and greatest. However many are taking a wait and see attitude. Curious where their games will be ie.. where will their opponents come from. Don't see a lot of public schools playing them. I'm hearing a very popular local baseball person is going to be involved with the baseball program but I cannot confirm if this is true or not. I know some people that claim to be representatives of the school have "approached" some kids about attending. It could turn out to be someting very good. The local guy driving the project is a former pro athlete and a good christian man with good intentions. Personally I think this first year or two will tell a lot. I hope it works out for the kids that go there.

 

Former University of Maryland point guard Keith Gatlin is the head basketball coach

 

huh?

a high school sports academy??

 

There are actually many across the country. Some specific to one sport, like tennis or golf. Lots that are basketball factories. And there are a few Veritas Academies scattered about. Not sure how many but I there are a few on the West Coast.

 

Cost

What is the cost to attend???? This will define their players. Many key players will be unable to afford.

 

If this

is the same school.

Compare with FCD & Bishop
Bishop http://www.bmhs.us/Default.aspx?tabid=28
FCD http://www.fcds.org/admission/tuition.asp

 

If regular schools play them here is who they might get a win. And that is a big might.

 

The cost is free at this point in time. I would not expect the local schools to play them.
