These records will remain in a file at Agape Baptist Church. Parents should retain copies of these records for their own files. The school shall furnish a required form.

Eleventh and twelfth graders may also choose to take these tests. Test scores must be submitted to Agape Academy.

  1. At least one parent must attend the three required meetings held in August, January, and May. Failure to attend these mandatory meetings can result in immediate dismissal.
