Veritas Campaign

A Promise for the Future

A moment to look before, and a moment to look after

 

For one hundred years, Portsmouth Abbey School has been shaped by faith, friendship and community. Our centennial is a moment to look before—to reaffirm our Catholic roots and Benedictine heritage—and a moment to look after—to meet the needs of our students and faculty, and allow our School to compete, lead, and flourish.

On our crest since 1931, Veritas—the pursuit of truth—has been at the heart of our mission. VERITAS: A Promise for the Future is a $70 million comprehensive campaign, bringing annual giving, capital and endowment, and planned gifts together toward a single goal.

Through education, we strive to guide students toward Veritas — truth in their studies, their faith and their character.
