Agape Public School was founded in the year 1997 with a small group of 25 students from the poor families who could not afford to send their children to school because of their poverty. These children live in the slums of Ludhiana city mostly migrated from Bihar and Maharashtra and elsewhere. The school started in a rented room with the first batch of 25 students and two teachers in the form of a balwadi, after completing a year in the balwadi when the children had to be admitted in a regular school. The parents could not send them to school as they did not have the required money to buy the schoolbooks and pay their school fees., considering the poverty of the parents more rooms had to be taken on rent. Students started increasing and more teachers had to be appointed.
From the year 1997 till December 2008 the school was fully managed and controlled by CCSC till then the school was not affiliated to any state or central board of education.
As the numbers of students from the poor families started increasing. In the year 2009 it was felt that the students should get quality education from a recognized school which would support them in their future life. The need of affiliation was felt with Punjab school education board, in the process of that a separate society was registered in the name of Agape Public School from then on the school has a separate society and governing members. As the school has registered a separate society the members of Agape Public School is managing and controlling the school.
At present the school has strength of 400 students all from the poor and marginalized families whose parents happens to be from daily wages workers, cycle rickshaw pullers, rag pickers which also includes 25 orphan children. The school provides them books and uniform at a very low cost. A monthly fee of Rs.15O is charged from those students who can afford to pay their fees.
Most of the students of the school get support as scholarship in their monthly fees from Christian Community Service Centre. Some are supported from Ashirwad Child development Centre and a few from Nikhil Noble Trust.
