ENCOURAGE
Agape believes that education is a God-given right and responsibility of parents, therefore will encourage homeschooling as a legitimate alternative to other forms of education. We will do our best to help guide any new families interested in pursuing home education by providing them with the information and support needed to make an educated decision for their family. We understand the homeschooling may not be right for every family, but believe that any family with the desire, should have the encouragement to follow their calling.
