Elementary & Middle School
Rooted in Truth. Growing in Purpose. Equipped for Impact.
At Avail Academy, learning doesn’t just prepare students for the future—it shapes who they are today. In Grades 1–8, students grow in confidence, character, and curiosity within a Christ-centered community that sees each child as uniquely gifted by God.
With strong academics, intentional faith formation, and real-world application, students discover how their learning matters—because they matter to God and to His world.
Engaging, Christ-Centered Curriculum
We believe that education is more than just mastering subjects—it’s about inspiring a love for learning, discovering God’s creation, and finding purpose in His story. Through the Teaching for Transformation framework, our students not only excel in reading, writing, science, and math but also explore how their gifts and talents can serve God and others.
Our dedicated, well-trained, and experienced teachers are at the heart of this transformation. Each teacher is passionate about cultivating a classroom environment where students are encouraged to ask questions, pursue their interests, and grow in wisdom. They serve not only as educators but also as mentors and role models, walking alongside each student as they grow in faith and knowledge.
With accreditation through Christian Schools International (CSI), our curriculum meets the highest standards of academic excellence, ensuring that students are equipped with the tools they need for lifelong success. The CSI accreditation reflects our commitment to rigorous academics and our dedication to providing a Christ-centered education that nurtures the whole child—academically, spiritually, and emotionally.
Deep Learning Through a Christian Lens
From literature to science to history, every subject is taught from a biblical worldview. Students are invited to wrestle with big ideas, think critically, and see all of life as part of God’s unfolding story.
Academic Rigor & Personal Support
We challenge students to reach their full potential while recognizing their individual learning styles. With small class sizes and dedicated teachers, students receive the personal support they need to thrive.
Teaching for Transformation
More than knowledge, we pursue wisdom. Through our Teaching for Transformation framework, students engage in "real work for real people," connecting classroom learning to meaningful service in God’s world.
Intentional Faith Formation
From daily devotions to chapel, students are immersed in practices that nurture spiritual maturity. Our Throughlines—like Justice-Seeker, Beauty-Creator, and Servant-Worker—help them see how faith can be lived out in every part of life.
Strong Student-Teacher Relationships
Our educators don’t just teach—they mentor. With deep care and a shared sense of purpose, they walk alongside students in both academic and spiritual growth, creating a safe, encouraging atmosphere.
Leadership & Character Development
In Middle School, students are given opportunities to lead—whether through chapel, service projects, or student groups. These experiences help them grow in responsibility, empathy, and confidence.
Enrichment & Co-Curricular Opportunities
Beyond core academics, students explore music, art, physical education, and more—cultivating their God-given talents and building joy into the school day.
Safe, Vibrant Campuses
Both our Blaine and Edina campuses provide beautiful, secure environments designed to foster creativity, collaboration, and curiosity—from spacious classrooms to outdoor learning areas.
