Building Healthy Bodies and Positive Attitudes through Sports and Physical Activity

Agapé Boarding School understands that it is important for young men to stay active. Athletic opportunities are a great way to accomplish this. We offer sports for two reasons. One, athletics gives the students some enjoyable activities to help Agapé be a more normal high school experience. We also use sports as a teaching tool for such qualities as perseverance, teamwork, proper attitude, and more. Boys gain basic athletic skills and many character traits through participation. Agapé Boarding School offers many different activities and sports including basketball, wrestling, boxing, baseball, swimming, volleyball, soccer, football, fishing, canoeing, a golf tournament, and an equestrian program which includes our summer rodeo events.

Most of these activities will be held on our campus; however, we do travel with our basketball team. Some sports are mandatory, while participation in others is entirely voluntary. For some sports, such as basketball, we hold tryouts for a team and compete with other schools and in tournaments. We run other sports as intramural programs on our own campus. It is important that each student stay active and healthy and learn to participate in our activities and our athletics program. We do not necessarily focus on skill level but on level of participation.

Our athletic director is also the basketball coach. We conduct many sports camps annually, for which we hire coaches for the week. All students participate in our wrestling, basketball, and soccer camps. We also hold voluntary annual camps for boxing, softball, and football. The athletic program is one of the many strengths of Agapé Boarding School. Boys benefit greatly from the skills they learn through athletics, and they reap those benefits both on and off the field.

My grandson entered Agapé under duress at age 14, a know it all who wouldn’t go to school. The staff at this school turned him around, in effect, replacing his missing father. He graduated as valedictorian this year. I can’t say enough about how this school helped him. He has…

We had two problem sons, both adopted from bad home backgrounds and who had serious issues. Agapé was exactly what they needed and the school did wonders for them. It is a wonderful place that teaches respect, Biblical knowledge and principles and where they genuinely love the boys. They also…

I was the typical ‘know it all, you can’t tell me anything’ boy was I wrong! I went to the school when I was 15. After I graduated I stayed on for a year to help out as best I can. The school taught me a lot about myself, and…

I was not a kid into drugs or anything, I was just plain rebellious. Agapé broke it out of me and I thank God He intervened and allowed me to change. The education is tremendous and the biblical beliefs are great. I love Agapé and thank the Lord for a…

I enrolled my brilliant but unchallenged 15 year old son at Agapé Boarding school in the fall of 2004. His grades had been slipping; he wasn’t a bad kid but starting to get into the wrong crowd and not try to succeed in school. After 4 months at Agapé he…

Agapé helped us with an out-of-control son; we had nowhere else to turn. Agapé’s prices are better than many other so-called teen boarding programs. Our son is a better person today because of Agapé. He never would have graduated from school, and possibly wouldn’t have ever become a Christian without…

Agapé has saved the life of my son as well as the rest of the family. My son was adopted at age 7 from a third world country. He had spent his entire life in a bad orphanage. Upon arrival, his behavior was utterly out-of-control — though family, teachers and…

I made the difficult decision at Christmas time to send my son, and remember thinking, “God gave His only son and never got Him back alive, how blessed I am that I WILL get mine back better than when I handed him over” and had no idea how far Agapé…

Look as long and hard as you want, but you won’t find a better all boys school that promotes Christian morals for your son. My son has completed 2 years at Agapé and I couldn’t be prouder of his achievements and growth. Over the past year I had been hunting…

About 1 1/2 yrs. ago,we, as parents were in the position of desperately searching for the right place for our 13 y.o. son. I know what to look for in a school, through the MANY hours of “Googling”, searching, calling, reviewing. Nothing compares to the whole package we have found…

I was a student at Agapé` and I’m glad I was. The staff truly cared about and loved us and wanted the best for us. They would give the shirt off their backs for you, if needed, to see you succeed in life. The facility was first class and things…

The main thing I can say about Agapé is that it helped me put my life in perspective. People cared, and I have more good memories there then I do in my life now. I can say I loved each and every person there.

The deepest pain as a parent is dealing with a wayward child. Agapé 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, Agapé has been Jesus’ hands and feet, showing unconditional…

I truly believe in Agapé and would like to share it with other parents who are in a difficult dark part of their lives our children are our world and it is heartbreaking to see your son destroy himself and the whole family!

One of the places I love to travel to and be a part of the ministry is at the Agapé Baptist Church and boarding school. It is literally changing lives and is a great place to be. I heartily recommend it to any parent who has a boy that needs…

I went to Agapé the summer of ’05. 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 little over a month I noticed some things about these people that caught me a little…

Phillip (Former Student)

Agapé has been a great decision for our son. At home he was angry, suicidal, doing drugs, hanging with the wrong crowd, cutting himself. At Agapé he has gotten saved, baptized, learned the Bible, finished high school, matured, and faced problems that we couldn’t get him to face. Agapé saved…

Marla (Parent)

Coming to the realization that in order to save my young son’s life, I needed to send him away, was the most difficult and painful decision I have ever made. After researching everything from hospitals to military schools, I finally called Agapé and truly felt a sense of peace and…

Agapé was the changing point in his life. We are so glad to have our son back not the scary young man who was here before. He is getting good grades in school. Keeping a job and becoming a leader at school. He attributes his change of heart and mind…

The peace of mind that that we have found with Agapé that comes from knowing our son is being cared for and is making progress in school is irreplaceable. Our whole family is better off. His mother and I can sleep soundly, knowing our son is safe. We are sure…

Brent (Parent)

This will be a very difficult decision to follow through with. Leaving your son with the staff at Agapé Boarding School will test your faith. What helped us in this deciding on Agapé was to take a tour before we made the final decision. I talked with the staff multiple…
