Vail Christian Academy is hosting two open houses

EDWARDS — Vail Christian Academy will host two open house events in February. The school offers classes for kindergarten through eighth grade.

At the kindergarten open house, guests will tour the school and meet kindergarten teacher Kristen Osborne and Headmaster Beth Raitt.

At an open house for kindergarten through eighth grade, families will learn about classical Christian education, hear from Raitt and meet the teachers.

Vail Christian Academy offers small class sizes, between 12 and 18 students, designed to provide individual attention, enrich student-teacher relationships, encourage a balanced class atmosphere and promote learning.

The core subjects of math, language arts, science, history and Bible are complemented by new programs including Music for Life, led by pastor and Christian recording artist John David Webster; a Big Buddy mentoring program; compassion projects; senior citizen outreach; leadership crew; Christmas program; technology; and Latin and Spanish. Athletics are offered in partnership with St. Clare of Assisi and include football, volleyball, basketball, and track.
