Every day 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 Jr.K - 12 Christian school with campuses located in Edina (Jr.K-8), Blaine (Jr.K-8), and Fridley (9-12), Minnesota. As Jr.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. We believe that living a life of purpose doesn’t start after graduation. At Avail Academy, we create opportunities that regularly invite all students into God’s real work to develop their talents and serve their peers, families, and the broader community. Being part of God’s story daily 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.
