Omnibus is the Latin phrase meaning "all encompassing" or everything. At Veritas, this means we read many of the Great Books of Western civilization, covering the subjects of literature, history, and theology - the "everything" from the culture of our ancestors. The ideas from these books have survived the centuries, and we explore and discuss them in the Omnibus classroom.
