From The
President

Welcome to Avail Academy—a place where faith and learning intertwine, where students are nurtured to grow as leaders for Christ, and where families find a true community centered in Christian values.

We are a covenantal, parent-led K-12 school dedicated to nurturing students from Christian families across our campuses in Edina, Blaine, and Fridley. Founded over 60 years ago, our school is deeply rooted in Christian education, fostering a reformed worldview that equips students to be ambassadors for Christ. Today, we’re honored to serve 425 students from 235 families, representing more than 80 churches in the Minneapolis metro area.

Our purpose is simple yet profound: to inspire, equip, and engage young people to lead lives of influence and service in God’s Kingdom. For families who share this vision for their children, Avail Academy is a partnership. Here, faith-filled families and vibrant classroom communities foster belonging, and our mature, Christian teachers lead and shepherd students through an education grounded in faith.

At Avail, our dedicated staff supports each student in reaching their full potential, offering differentiated learning to meet diverse needs. Our students are encouraged to explore and excel, with opportunities in music, theater, athletics, robotics, community service, and more.

I invite you to experience the Avail Academy difference firsthand. May you be inspired by the depth and breadth of our academic and co-curricular programs and feel the warmth of our community, united in faith in Jesus Christ. We look forward to welcoming you to Avail Academy and exploring the possibilities for your family within our school.

In Christ,

Ross Douma
President | Avail Academy
