Our Mission
Reconnecting children with their authentic selves in a world that values performance over well-being.
As the systems teach children facts, formulas, and foreign languages...
As they track milestones, reward achievement, and push for more.
As if doing well means everything is well.
Little Ark Academy asks:
How much time do we spend helping children understand what they feel?
Helping them make sense of stress, disappointment, anger, and confusion?
We don't.
The system expects them to hold it together—while the world applauds the performance.
And then we wonder why they grow up disconnected, anxious, unsure of who they are.
Why they go searching for themselves in all the wrong places.
But maybe they wouldn't have to find themselves...
If they were first taught the skills to hold on to themselves.
At Little Ark Academy, we believe doing well is wonderful.
But how are they really feeling?
Let's be sure to check in.
Because that matters more than any report card. Let's Re-connect with the speed faster than light.

"Good books for growing readers (the children) and adults too. They offer simple explanations to complex scripture passages. They make life so much easier. Imagine explaining the 7 seals to a toddler? The breakdown on the 7 seals workbook is amazing."

Our Heart for Charity
"Happiness doesn't result from what we get, but from what we give" ~Ben Carson
"Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up." The purest joy springs from the deepest humiliation. The strongest and noblest characters are built on the foundation of patience, love, and submission to God's will.
- The Acts of the Apostles, pp. 318, 319
