PARTNER WITH US

Every great school is built by a community.

Ark Discovery Institute is launching with one of the most ambitious visions in eastern North Carolina: K-12 Christ-centered education through three pathways, anchored by hands-on discovery at The Father’s Refuge. We can’t do it alone, and we don’t want to.
Whether you give, pray, volunteer, or simply share our story, you are partnering in Kingdom work.

WHY PARTNER NOW

This is the inaugural year.

Founding ADI is the work of a generation. The decisions we make in 2026, the families we welcome first, the partners who stand with us at the beginning – all of this shapes what ADI becomes for decades to come.

  • Three educational pathways to serve families across eastern NC and beyond
  • A hands-on learning environment at The Father’s Refuge with agriculture, culinary arts, video production, 3D printing, and more
  • Scholarship pathways so no called family is turned away for financial reasons
  • A faculty and staff who love Christ, love children, and are committed to the mission
  • A facility ready to welcome our first students on August 19, 2026
