2026–2027 · Middle & High School
We train students to think clearly, reason honestly, and speak the truth with conviction, so they can go out as ambassadors for Christ.
The Heart of It
Knowledge has never been easier to find. What your child needs from school is the part a search bar cannot give them: how to think clearly, reason through hard questions, and say what they believe with conviction. That focus is sharper next year, with a clearer path from thinking to communicating and a handful of new classes built around it.
How We Teach
It starts early. From kindergarten through fifth grade, students build a foundation of knowledge through a biblical worldview. From middle school through graduation, that foundation grows into a clearer path from learning to think to learning to speak.
In seventh grade, students take Intro to Logic and dig into classic literature. In eighth grade, the Art of Argument teaches them to build a case and defend it. They learn to reason, weigh ideas, and start forming what they believe.
Ninth graders can take Intermediate Logic to strengthen their reasoning. In tenth grade English, building and defending an argument becomes part of the daily work of writing.
Juniors and seniors can take Rhetoric, where written and spoken communication get polished and purposeful. Speech is part of the picture too, because speaking well is a skill this generation rarely gets to practice.
By graduation, a student can think through something hard and say it clearly. That is the goal.
In the Classroom
How a class feels day to day matters as much as what is taught. A few things shape that next year.
Middle school teachers focus on the subjects they know best and the age they teach. Sixth grade officially joins middle school next year, which gives those students teachers devoted to their group and more academic challenge to grow into.
Classrooms lean on the Socratic method, where students wrestle with ideas together and with their teacher. Less sitting and listening. More thinking out loud.
Core high school classes move to a block schedule, about 83 minutes instead of 42. That extra time gives English, history, Bible, and science room for real discussion, not a rushed lesson.
Worth Knowing About
A few of the classes coming next year, chosen to show what students can explore.
Read the New Testament in the language it was written.
Learn to deliver an argument with clarity and conviction.
Over twenty scientific disciplines, real case studies, hands-on lab work.
A full fourth year of science for students headed toward technical fields.
Advanced Spanish, tied to the senior missions trip to El Salvador.
Engineering, coding, and problem-solving with real robotics kits.
These are a sample. The full course catalog lists everything offered next year, including history electives, creative writing, music, and a growing set of classes through our Ethos partnership.

Some of what students learn is meant to reach past the classroom. Greek opens the New Testament in its original language. Spanish 4 connects to the senior missions trip to El Salvador, where students share their faith in real conversations. The coursework is built to send students out, ready to carry the gospel into whatever the Lord calls them to.
Watch
We covered all of this at our June information session. The complete recording is here if you would like to hear it directly. A summary of the topics is below.
What Was Covered
The short version, in order. Each marker shows roughly when the topic comes up in the recording.
At the Core
New classes do not mean a new direction. Every class at Agape is still taught through a biblical worldview. The gospel is still the priority. We partner with families and the church to give each student a Christ-centered education that prepares them to be a transforming influence in the world.
The classes are new. The conviction underneath them is not.
The foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.
