Lupine Community School has reached an incredible turning point. Over the past year, we have moved from a dream to a thriving 7-acre reality. We have purchased our permanent farm home, expanded our grade levels, and brought on amazing educators.

Now, we are in the final phase of our expansion, and we need you to help us lay the final bricks.

What We’ve Accomplished Together

Since 2024 , your support has allowed us to:

Establish Our Roots: Secured and customized a 7+ acre permanent campus in Orange County, NC, officially recognized as a North Carolina Bona Fide Farm.

Grow Our Impact: Expanded to serve Preschool through 2nd Grade, with plans to continue growing through 2027 and beyond.

Build a Team: Hired 3 new specialist staff members dedicated to student-centered, nature-based education.

Lead in Inclusion: Continued providing a vital, inclusive environment for students with diverse learning styles through project-based curriculum.

Rescue & Educate: Adopted over 10 animal ambassadors—including pigs, goats, sheep, donkeys, and chickens—from a local sanctuary to teach our students compassion and husbandry.

The Final Push: Our $125,000 Goal

While we have raised significant funding to get the gates open, we are facing the reality of rising construction costs and the final infrastructure needs of a working farm school.

We are seeking $125,000 in community support to fully complete our facilities. Every dollar of this goal goes directly into the physical environment that serves our children and animals, allowing us to:

Complete Campus Infrastructure: Finalize the classroom and outdoor learning spaces.

Enhance Animal Enclosures: Build the permanent paddocks and shelters our rescue animals need to thrive as "education ambassadors."

Launch Community Programming: Open our doors for summer camps, community events, and hands-on farm activities for families across the Triangle.

Ensure Accessibility: Protect our scholarship fund, keeping this unique education accessible to students of all backgrounds and abilities.
