Ark is an international charity, transforming lives through education. We exist to give every young person, regardless of their background, a great education and real choices in life.
In the UK, we are a network of 35 schools, educating more than 22,000 pupils. These schools are all non-selective and in areas where they can make the biggest difference.
We also set up ventures and partnerships in the UK and around the world. These not only help pupils in our own schools, but improve education systems as a whole.
