We’re looking forward to closing out the school year with our last big event, Graduation Day! 🙌🎓

🎓✨Happy Graduation Day to our Ark Academy seniors!

We celebrate this incredible group of students and all they have accomplished through hard work, perseverance, faith, and growth over their time at the Ark Academy. We are so proud of each graduate and grateful for the memories, friendships, and impact they have made within our school family and community. As they step into this next chapter, we are excited to see all the places God will take them and the many lives they will touch along the way.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! 💙🎉 We love you all so much!

What a year, and what a WORLD of fun it has been at Ark Academy Preschool! 💙

Today marked our final day of the 2025–2026 school year as our Mighty Little Arrows celebrated with Field Day & Water Day! From laughter and games to splashes and smiles, it was the perfect way to end an incredible year of learning, growth, friendship, and fun.

Thank you to all of our amazing families for partnering with us this year and for trusting us with your precious children. We are so thankful for every memory made and every little heart that was poured into this year. What a blessing it has been!

🎓✨Senior Spotlight: Jeremiah Warren✨🎓

Our last graduating senior of Ark Academy class of 2026 is Jeremiah Warren!

Over the years, Jeremiah has shown such growth not only academically, but in his character and walk with the Lord. He has continued to step into leadership with humility, consistency, and a willingness to serve those around him.

As Jeremiah prepares for this next chapter, beginning work and pursuing ministry school in the fall, we are excited to see how God continues to lead and use his life.

Congratulations, Jeremiah! We are so proud of you and look forward to all God has in store for your future!

Here is the Pre-K graduating class! 🎓 We are so proud of all their hard work and growth throughout the year. A special thank you to Mrs. SunDee Burgess for leading and pouring into these mighty little arrows all year long! 💙✨

🎓✨Senior Spotlight: Emily Taura✨🎓

Today we celebrate Emily Taura, a graduating senior from Ark Academy’s Class of 2026! 💙

Emily has been such a beautiful example of creativity, perseverance, and steady growth throughout her time at Ark. Over the years, we’ve watched her grow not only academically, but also in her confidence, faith, and the unique gifts the Lord has placed inside of her.

Her heart for the arts and passion for creative expression have been evident in so many ways, and it’s been inspiring to see her use those gifts to glorify God.

As she steps into this next season at UTC to continue studying the arts and communications, we know the Lord will continue guiding her path and using her gifts for His glory. We are so proud of all she has accomplished and excited to see all that’s ahead for her!

Congratulations, Emily! We love you and are cheering you on! ❤️

🌮🎉 Middle school celebration was the best! Students enjoyed tacos, games, prizes, awards, and lots of joy, the best way to celebrate the end of an incredible school year together! ❤️

We’re so thankful for this middle school group and the ways they’ve grown in friendship, leadership, and faith throughout the year. 😊

🎓✨Senior Spotlight: Averi Smith✨🎓

Today we honor Averi Smith and all she has brought to the Ark Academy family throughout her journey as part of the Class of 2026. ❤️

Averi has carried herself with grace, kindness, and quiet strength, and it has been such a joy to watch her grow into the young woman she is today. We are so thankful for the ways she has been a part of our community and for the light she carries into every season ahead.

As she prepares to attend Lee University to study business marketing, we are excited to see all the doors the Lord opens before her. We know God has a beautiful path prepared for her, and we can’t wait to watch her continue to flourish in this next chapter.

Congratulations, Averi! Your Ark Academy family is cheering you on every step of the way!

Our juniors and seniors gathered together for their annual end-of-year camping trip for a special time of connection, reflection, prayer, and celebration as leadership is passed from one class to the next. This is one of our favorite Ark Academy traditions and is truly so special! ❤️

We honored and released our seniors into the next season the Lord has for them, praying over their future and celebrating the impact they’ve made on our school community. At the same time, we watched our juniors step forward into new leadership with encouragement, vision, and purpose.

These moments together remind us that Ark Academy is more than a school, it’s a family walking alongside one another through every season. We’re so thankful for the memories made, the conversations shared, and the beautiful ways God continues to move in the lives of our students. ✨

What a beautiful way to close out the school year together! 🙏🤍

These are some moments from our elementary and high school chapel. Our students gathered one last time to pray over one another, worship together, and reflect on all the Lord has done this year.

There were tears, hugs, communion, foot washing, heartfelt encouragement, and beautiful moments of worship.

In elementary chapel, we prayed blessings over our 4th graders as they step into leadership, and over our 5th graders as they prepare for their transition into middle school. It was such a beautiful and meaningful time together.

We are so thankful for a school community that seeks the presence of God, loves one another deeply, and finishes the year united in prayer and worship. ❤️
