For all Ages

Located within the Vail School District, one of Arizona’s top-performing districts, the UA Tech Park has fostered a longstanding partnership that drives innovation and education. This collaboration began when the Park hosted the district’s first charter high school and has since grown to include Vail Academy and High School (VAHS), an award-winning K-12 program situated on the UA Tech Park campus. Vail Academy and High School is a small learning community that encourages high academic and social achievement.  VAHS has earned the AZ Education Foundation A+ Award of Excellence three times! Students experience science and technology in action through various programs, mentorships and informal interactions.
