Our Mission

At The Ark HQ™, we’re on a mission to transform how schools manage compliance. We firmly believe that schools should be free to focus on what they do best – providing excellent education – without getting bogged down by complex regulations.

Our goal is to manage compliance so you can focus on education. We’re not consultants who simply offer advice and leave. Instead, we’re active compliance managers who work alongside schools, handling the entire compliance process throughout the school year.

Who We Are

Founded in 2016 by David McCarthy, we’ve focused exclusively on helping schools navigate the complex world of compliance. Our team comprises experts from various backgrounds – compliance professionals and legal specialists – all united by a deep understanding of the unique challenges schools face.
