    Why does Veritas use narrative grading instead of letter grades in the Lower School? In this episode, Karen Gray discusses how assessment shapes the way students think about learning, failure, and growth. Together, they explore the limits of numerical grading, the purpose of narrative feedback, and why classical Christian education seeks something more humane than reducing students to percentages and averages.

Andrew Smith, Dean of Academics, and Dr. Charlie Cisco, Upper School Humanities teacher, discuss how we should think about the evolving technological landscape.
