Building on a Strong Foundation: ARKTIK's Midwest Expansion


The American Midwest is built on a foundation of hard work, faith, and an unwavering commitment to community. These are the values that beat at the heart of the ARKTIK Institute.

We believe that families in the heartland deserve a partner who shares their principles and provides a framework for educational excellence that is both rigorous and morally grounded.

That is why we are proud to announce our deliberate expansion into the Midwest, beginning with a focused commitment to Iowa and a transparent journey towards broader accreditation.

Our First Step: Iowa

We begin our journey in Iowa, a state renowned for its long-standing commitment to educational excellence. Our nationally recognized framework for homeschool governance and academic rigor is available now for Iowa families seeking a complete, audit-ready solution for family-led education.

We are actively supporting Iowa families who want to build a legacy of learning, confident that our program provides the structure and depth needed to thrive in a state that values high standards.

Our Journey to ACT Accreditation

To better serve families across the entire Midwest, we have begun the rigorous and deliberate process of securing accreditation through the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS WASC).

Why is this important for you?

  • A Recognized Standard of Excellence: ACS WASC accreditation is a globally recognized seal of approval, signifying that a school meets the highest standards of quality and continuous improvement.

  • A Commitment to Your Future: This process demonstrates our long-term investment in the Midwest. We are not just offering a product; we are building an institution.

  • Transparency and Partnership: We want you to be part of this journey. As we progress through the accreditation process, we will provide updates and opportunities for founding families to help shape the future of ARKTIK in the Midwest.

Our goal is simple: to offer a fully accredited program that gives Midwest families unparalleled confidence and access to the best educational opportunities for their children.

The Vision: Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Beyond

Iowa is our first step, not our last. The successful completion of our ACS WASC accreditation will pave the way for us to bring our fully accredited program to more states, including Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, and others throughout the region.
