Tartu Veeriku School was founded on the 1st of September, 1987. Today (2023) we have about 800 students and 76 teachers. Tartu Veeriku School is a basic school and there are grades from 1 to 9  (aged from 6/7 to 15 years old).

Since 1994, there have been English-biased classes. Since the autumn of 2010, all the first graders have learned English by playing, singing, and crafting. Starting from the third grade, English is taught in level groups that vary in difficulty. Studying a second foreign language starts in the fourth grade or in the sixth grade, it is possible to learn German, Russian, or Spanish. In grades 7.- 9., mathematics is also taught in different level groups. 

Veurovisioon is a yearly school tradition where different classes make their own choreography and then perform in front of other students, teachers and the jury. Afterwards, there is a school disco and the classes with the best dances get prizes, such as trophies, chocolates and diplomas.
