Sunshine Committee The Sunshine Committee is a special way for our families to show appreciation and encouragement to the teachers and staff who pour so much love, time, and care into our students each day. Throughout the school year, families have the opportunity to bring a little extra sunshine to our staff through simple acts of kindness—a favorite snack or drink, a sweet treat, a handwritten note, flowers, or another thoughtful surprise. Participation is completely voluntary, and there is no expectation for anything elaborate or expensive. It is simply a way for our school community to come together and remind our teachers and staff that they are valued, appreciated, and loved. Questions?

Preschool, Elementray, & Middle School-aged children. Located in Vail, Arizona. Creation School, an Early Care and Education Ministry of Christ Lutheran Vail Church. Elementary & Middle School At our school, we take pride in tailoring education to meet the unique needs of our students. When traditional methods fall short, we adapt and refine our approach. Our curriculum integrates arts, sciences, and humanities, encouraging students to explore their passions and understand the interconnectedness of knowledge. With small class sizes, students benefit from individualized attention and mentorship from dedicated faculty who embody Christian values and believe education is about “formation,” not just “information.” Our curriculum aligns with the state's academic standards, and teachers use these standards to structure lesson plans, ensuring a cohesive approach to instruction. Textbooks and supplementary materials reinforce curriculum objectives and support student learning. Beyond academics, Creation School offers diverse specialty classes, including creative expression, community service, and outdoor education, all grounded in our faith-based principles. These experiences cultivate leadership, resilience, and empathy, shaping students into compassionate global citizens with a Christian worldview.

Learn how to make a Christian education affordable. Elementary School Tuition Creation Elementary School is a private Christian school and a ministry of Christ Lutheran Vail. It is financially dependent solely upon the tuitions and donations provided by our parents and partners in educational ministry. Attendance at the school comes with a yearly tuition cost requirement. Creation School partners with school tuition organizations (STOs) and private donors to provide support for families that need assistance. Creation School also offers scholarships and discounts in special cases at the discretion of the Director. We strongly suggest that ALL families consider allocating Arizona tax credit dollars to support Christian education at Creation School and encourage family and friends to do so as well. A donation to an Arizona STO allows donors to receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit while funding scholarships for children who could not usually afford to attend a private school. Individuals with an Arizona state tax liability can redirect a portion or all of their state tax liability to an STO. For more information on how to donate please visit https://acsto.org/donors/donate-now . Creation School STO Scholarships are available for all Elementary students. Call the office at (520) 468-7075 for more information or visit the links below for additional information. Creation School is partnered with these Arizona School Tuition Organizations. Families are encouraged to apply to all organizations to maximize funding. Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization Academic Achievement Accessible Arizona Private School Tuition Organization School Choice Arizona Institute for Better Education Arizona Leadership Foundation Arizona Tuition Connection Arizona Universal Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) Program Arizona recently expanded the ESA program to include covering costs of private school for residents who have a K-12 student. In order to receive funding, you must apply online and follow the steps below to make your quarterly payments. Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) Program Please note: Kindergarten students are encouraged to utilize STOs for financial aide. Grade School students are encouraged to utilize the Universal ESA Program. STOs and Universal ESA can not be combined. Universal ESA typically covers up to 50% of Kindergarten tuition.

Active learning is at the heart of every Creation School classroom.
