  • Some students come to our school for a short period of time, while others stay for years.
  • Our work is funded by the generosity of private donors so that we can offer housing and schooling at no cost to the families we serve.
  • In our 24th year, Agape' Corner Boarding School provides at-risk children with a solid K-12 education within a Christian, family-like environment. Completely tuition and fee free. Our staff and volunteers are a diverse group of dedicated Christians, coming from a wide variety of denominations, races, ages, and countries.
