About Avail Academy
Everyday we avail our talents and best efforts to Christ’s cause of raising students to recognize their unique gifting and God's purpose for them.
Avail Academy is a K - 12 Christian school with campuses located in Edina (K-8), Blaine (K-8), and Fridley (9-12), Minnesota. As K-12 educators, we’re called to spark each student’s potential and fan it fully into flame by expertly immersing academics in God’s word and way. And because living a life of purpose doesn’t start after graduation, we create opportunities now for children to develop their talents in the service of their peers, families and the broader community. This makes for a distinctly different educational experience. One where the aim is more than just achieving the good life, but a life of service. This is Christian education on purpose.
