Cultivating faith, wisdom, and love in our community of learners and beyond
Uplifting the community by providing an affordable, vibrant, and holistic Christian education to families on the Virginia Peninsula and surrounding region
The Agape School seeks to walk alongside parents and caregivers during their child’s academic journey. We will provide life-long learning opportunities, demonstrating our commitment to community involvement by supporting local businesses as vendor partners and collaborating with nonprofits, outreach programs, and churches to serve the needs of our families.
The Agape School offers a knowledge-based, integrative curriculum that draws connections between subjects. Students will regularly participate in Social Emotional Learning and hands-on experiences, including STEAM enrichment. Learning at The Agape School is informed by models of excellent, gospel-centered schools that have achieved strong student outcomes. A unifying understanding at these schools is the belief that the purpose of education is holistic formation, forming hearts to know God’s love and truth and forming minds to curiously engage in meaningful academic work.
We believe children uniquely and beautifully reflect their Creator. We seek to offer students a feast of ideas that accurately portray the wonder of God’s world by intentionally creating a safe and nurturing environment for all. We believe the full expression of the kingdom of God depends on a community that richly displays all of creation. Our sliding scale model offers families of all income levels a supportive learning environment.
Throughout the year we offer times for parents and caregivers to fellowship and learn together through our lifelong learning series. We welcome all members of each student’s village to get curious together, rekindling the natural joy in exploring new ideas together.
We are learning from the models of several schools serving under-resourced communities. At these schools, affordable and excellent Christian education enables students, families, and communities to flourish.
