DIRECTOR
Dave Kinsey, the owner and director of Veritas, graduated from
Bryan College (BA in Bible, 1973) and Reformed Theological Seminary
(MA in School Administration, 1988). He has almost 30 years of
experience as an educator, with 23 of those years in school
administration. As a teacher, he taught 6th – 10th grade level math
courses, Spanish and history. He also coached basketball for several
years early in his career. Mr. Kinsey has served as an administrator
at three different Christian schools in the Atlanta and St. Louis
areas. He served for 15 years as the Headmaster at Fellowship
Christian Academy in Roswell. During his years at FCA, the school
grew from a student body of 160 students to over 600 in the K – 12

Perimeter Church in Duluth and has always been a strong supporter of
the homeschool movement. He believes that his role as an educator is
to partner with parents in providing the best possible education for
their children.
