What is PEACE School?

PEACE School, a charitable, not for profit, private Arts and academics infused, K to 6 school, launched September 2013 in the Nipissing region. We are currently planning to build sustainable, off grid, Green schools in the Nipissing region, Kenya and Belize, with intent to be fully operational with an online platform by 2022.

Paradigm Education Academy of Creative Enlightenment Inc. (a.k.a. PEACE School), a registered charitable non-profit NGO, is a unique, Kindergarten-12 education that approaches learning from a holistic perspective, working from an innovative step beyond technology, that provides our children with a new brand of enlightened imagination creativity education, in an inspiring and engaging sustainable Green School environment. The PEACE Arts and enlightened Academics infused curriculum is designed with flexibility, to adapt to student capability, needs and learning styles, so they discover, nurture and cultivate their innate gifts and talents.

Students explore the world through an imagination, creativity, inquiry based experience, to develop to their potential, at their own pace, using their learning style on which they are assessed. A key focus of the PEACE curriculum is on the environment, our interdependence with all life forms, and creating sustainable communities and a better world.

The PEACE Classroom

At PEACE, the Universe is our classroom. We offer an extraordinary opportunity for our outdoor experiential education programs … everything from learning about sustainable living, permaculture, exploring nature via flora and fauna studies, history of the Earth, physical education (canoeing, kayaking, skiing, hiking, eco tours), Health and Science, all integrated and infused into an ever expanding creative curriculum.

When one enters a PEACE School they will perceive an energized hive of activity in a collaborative open concept environment. Each school day begins with a form of Meditation, Yoga, Pilates, Music, and more, to set the day’s tone … and ends with a Council Circle. From time to time, guest Mentors or ‘Experts’ visit the classrooms to share their experiences and expertise. At the end of each school day, in the Council Circle, students pass the “Talking Stick” granting each the opportunity to share their learning experience of the day. Faculty also convene to share their insights and experiences.

The Academy provides an environment where children learn real life skills creatively. We offer outdoor access from each of its’ large, bright and airy classrooms. SmartBoard technology may be available to students for interactive academia and as an interface for connecting with world class Mentors and exploring world cultures through global classroom encounters. The exterior will provide large areas with easy access to sports fields and other public facilities for play activities, with a space for sustainable community gardens, community projects, and lush forests / jungles for natural exploration.
