Agape School of Education

Founded in 2006, Agape School of Education has welcomed over 13,000 students on their language-learning journeys. The name Agape comes from ancient Greek, referring to a profound, unconditional love – distinct from friendship (philia) or familial affection (storge).

This spirit of agape guided our beginnings, as founder Mr. Gilbert Ndiaye and his students from NUS selflessly built the school out of a shared love for languages. Today, that same passion remains at our core: to nurture in every learner an enduring, unconditional love for language and culture.
