ABOUT ARI:

Ari Arteaga lived his 16 years of life with a zest for making every day count for himself and for others. From an early age, his positive nature and high energy made him stand out. He was a loving, fun son and older brother, a dedicated student athlete, and a friend to many. Ari touched lives with his extraordinary personality and spirit, his natural ability to make others feel cared for, and his special way of engaging with people. He created friendships with all ages and walks of life, genuinely making a difference in their days, unknowingly helping others feel that their lives mattered.

MISSION:

To provide merit and need based scholarships, as well as other resources, to students who exemplify Ari’s unique characteristics seeking a private Christian high school education from freshman year through graduation, to assist the under-resourced in our community through drives and relief efforts, and to provide community service opportunities to students of all ages.

VISION:

Any child who is seeking a Christian-faith based private high school education should have the opportunity to fulfill their dream regardless of financial or personal obstacles.
