Discover the Avail Advantage

At Avail Academy, elementary students embark on a journey of discovery, curiosity, and growth within a Christ-centered community. Our goal is to ignite a sense of wonder in each child, nurturing their God-given potential and preparing them to flourish in both academics and character.

 
We have been attending Avail Academy for the past 8 years and love how intentional, focused, community oriented and special this school is. Each teacher and staff member are united in teaching for transformation and are intentional at building Christ-centered learning environments in their space.

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.


A Learning Experience Beyond the Classroom

Education at Avail Academy is deeply relational and holistic. We cultivate a community where students experience the beauty of God’s creation and the wonder of learning. Whether it’s through hands-on projects, collaborative group work, or creative play, we engage with students, encouraging them to ask questions, think critically, and contribute meaningfully to their world.

Our approach is dynamic, continuously improving to reflect the latest educational practices while remaining rooted in timeless Christian truths. This ensures that every child is equipped not only with knowledge but with the wisdom and confidence to make a difference as active participants in God’s story.
