Christian Boarding Schools | Agape Christian Boarding School for Boys

What Parents and Students Say

Agape has been a great decision for our son. At home he was angry, suicidal, doing drugs, hanging with the wrong crowd, and cutting himself. At Agape he learned the Bible, finished high school, matured, and faced problems that we couldn't get him to face. Agape saved his life.
-Marla (Parent)

The deepest pain as a parent is dealing with a wayward child. Agape has been used by the Lord to make this reality much less painful in our lives. In the midst of the hurt and pain in our son's life, Agape has been Jesus' hands and feet, showing unconditional love to our son.
-Dave and Sarah (Parents)

My life at that moment wasn't God honoring and I never truly understood what it meant to be a Christian. After being at the school for a little over a month, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour and He changed my life completely from that point forward. Agape Boarding School has also taught me some valuable lessons of character and hard work.
-Phillip (Former Student)

Christian Therapeutic Boarding School
for Struggling Teen Boys

Agape is an affordable, non-profit Christian boarding school designed to counsel and care for troubled or rebellious teens; also giving them a quality college prep education and offering competitive sports. Our campus is first-class, our approach is loving, and our belief is that a change of heart comes only from God. We specialize in working with and counseling boys who are defiant, unmotivated in school, hanging around with the wrong crowd, or have been experimenting with alcohol or drugs. We also work with teens diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, ADD, or experiencing depression. If this describes your teen and you are looking for a safe and effective program, we can help!

Agape is a safe, clean, organized and affordable therapeutic program where boys that struggle with authority or who have been swayed into misbehavior by their peers can get their lives back on track. For over twenty years, Agape Christian Boarding School has helped thousands of boys that were once labeled as drop-outs and misfits, transforming them into respectful and respectable graduates, and prepared for college with a bright future.

Compare Agape to other therapeutic schools and you’ll see how affordable it is, especially with available financing option (ask about this when you call). Most boarding schools kick out teens with behavior problems…we welcome them!

Agape is all about working with boys who are off track in life. We are specifically designed in structure and care to be a positive influence and turn them around to become mature, thoughtful and respectful young men, with a renewed purpose and outlook on life. We’ll also help your teenager get back on track academically, with fully accredited and transferable credits.

Please call us. Safe transport options are available for your teen, should he be unwilling to come, or if he has run away or lives in another city.

Helping teens spiritually, behaviorally, and academically.

OVER 20 YEARS OF CARE FOR TROUBLED TEENS

Our Founders, James and Kathy Clemensen, started Agape in April of 1990. Since then, they have seen many troubled and rebellious boys turn around their lives, become drug free, and receive a quality high school education. They have worked hard to make Agape's therapeutic program an affordable, low cost school for the parents of troubled teens.

With improved behavior and impulse control, these young fellows learn to succeed and develop a healthy respect for authority figures, parents, and loved ones. As a traditional medical physician, I strongly support the model practiced at Agape Boarding School."
