I have a first grade student who has been attending Vail Academy and High School since kinder and I can say that his reading and math skills have blossomed to a greater level than I would have expected at his age. The teachers are engaging and present information in a variety of ways to ensure student understanding. He is able to also participate in art, music, technology, and P.E. on a weekly basis and they have regular assemblies. My son loves going to this school everyday.

I am so grateful for my time at Vail Academy & High School. I started as an 7th grader when Vail opened as an K-12 and graduated as a senior. The school was a uniquely welcoming place. It gave me the chance to figure out who I am and fostered close relationships that I treasure to this day.

The thing I like most about the high school is the small class sizes. Many time there are less than 20 students in a class. Teaches are able to give the students individual help and get to know them personally.
