Karen Canevaro

Family Consultant

Karen calls herself an “accidental homeschooler.” When her oldest was kindergarten age, she sent her off to school, and never had any plans to homeschool. However, she began homeschooling her oldest child in third grade after a lot of prayer and with the encouragement of her husband and friends. It was a great shift for her whole family. Karen learned about Veritas towards the end of her first year of homeschooling, and knew she had found something exceptional when her daughter began to ask to complete multiple lessons each day. Since 2017, her family has continued to use Veritas in a variety of ways: homeschool, private Classical Christian school and both the part-time and full-time Veritas Scholars Academy options.

She is thrilled to combine her knowledge and work experience from non-profit management, corporate recruiting and the classical Christian education world and use it to take a consultative approach to helping families think through how Veritas' different educational options can best serve them in their current season of life. She began working for Veritas as a family consultant in June 2023.

Karen holds a B.A. in foreign language with a concentration in Spanish from the University of Montevallo and a master’s degree in social work with a focus on agency administration and program planning from the University of Alabama.

She makes her home in North Alabama with her husband of almost 20 years and her three children. She’s excited to graduate her first VSA student in 2027! In her free time, she enjoys singing, dancing, listening to all kinds of music, and reading.
