PEACE Project

For students seeking an alternative to the traditional classroom, the Freire Charter School does offer a program, called the PEACE Project, that allows students to tailor their educations to their own needs and desires.  Students who pursue this option will be in a program that incorporates cutting-edge research about how to best educate young minds for success in the 21st century.

 

The PEACE Project is an innovative educational program that offers new answers to the age-old question of how to prepare high school students for their futures.   PEACE believes that learning should be personalized and founded in the real world.  PEACE is committed to the five principles that form its acronym: Personalized, Entrepreneurial, Active, Collaborative, and Exploratory. 

 

The Vision of The PEACE Project is that: One day, all students will have the opportunity to explore their curiosities and passions while mastering society's most valued skills.  The real world will be the "classroom" and education will happen everywhere in the community.  Learning alongside experts trained in coaching, students will maximize their potential as they solve real problems and improve the lives of others. All students will be treated with the respect, resources, and relevance that are essential for cultivating new generations of decision makers and problem solvers. Education will be the lifelong pursuit that drives people toward sustainability, interdependence, and personal satisfaction.
