From 2014 to December of 2021, our team and their families lived and educated in Lijiang, Yunnan, China. Here we learned how to serve local communities as loving leaders with a global perspective on God's will while also providing a new pattern of school that focused less on the commonly pursued standardized tests and focused more on the development of young men and women into adults who would have the intelligence, skills, and quality of character to serve their communities.  After laboring abroad for this time, we made our way back to the U.S. where we found a great need in American education for more schools that emphasize the heart of education. Although college entrance goals are an important part of maturity development, they often fail to address the core necessity of excellent education which is to make sure that students learn how to learn while developing personal relationships and being held personally responsible for a standard of success. We desire to provide an education that focuses on the individual development of loving leadership from a global perspective. This is the education that we want for our children and Agape International Academy (renamed Port Haven International Academy) opened in the fall of 2023 with the intention of providing a simply excellent education.
