At The Peace School, We depart from conventional numerical grading to assess our students' progress. Instead, we emphasize a descriptive evaluation process, wherein various teachers provide comprehensive assessments throughout the academic years. This approach offers a more holistic understanding of each student's growth and development.
We extend invitations to parents to attend regular meetings, which allow them to gain insights into their children's curriculum and actively engage in the educational process. We firmly believe that open communication between parents, teachers, and students fosters a supportive and collaborative learning environment. These discussions enable parents and teachers to delve into their child's educational journey, address specific concerns, and answer any questions.
Each academic year, students' education is evaluated based on their projects. We prioritize this project-based analysis, as it encourages students to showcase their skills, creativity, and critical thinking abilities in a real-world context. This approach provides a comprehensive evaluation and fosters a learning environment that values hands-on experience and practical knowledge, preparing our students for the challenges they will face beyond the classroom.
At the Peace School, we prioritize the comprehensive development of individuals across all aspects of life, adhering to a holistic approach that encompasses every facet of personal growth. To achieve this goal, we significantly emphasize providing direct and immersive experiences for our students. Individuals can acquire valuable insights and practical knowledge by engaging in real-life situations and meaningful interactions.
Our primary objective is to assist our students in reaching their maximum potential by supporting and nurturing their unique talents, abilities, and aspirations. We establish dynamic settings that encourage the acquisition of new skills and talents. By offering innovative learning environments and tailored opportunities, we empower our students to explore their passions and unlock their full potential.
We acknowledge the importance of compatibility, control, guidance, correction, and adaptability within our surroundings. We carefully consider these aspects to ensure an environment that fosters growth, positive development, and personal well-being.
Above all, we highly value the satisfaction of our audience. We continuously strive to implement measures and initiatives that enable them to lead lives characterized by decency, fulfillment, and meaningful experiences.
Our vision is to cultivate a community of positive, optimistic individuals who play transformative roles in their own lives, the lives of others, and society as a whole. We aspire to develop highly skilled individuals with profound knowledge across various fields of expertise.
We are committed to empowering individuals to recognize and embrace their talents and capabilities. We believe in providing them with the awareness and understanding of the societal conditions in which they operate.
We foster a critical analysis and problem-solving mindset, encouraging individuals to navigate challenges and extend compassionate support to others on their journeys. We value flexibility, adaptability, and resilience as essential in addressing obstacles and seeking innovative solutions.
We aim to nurture individuals who experience happiness, satisfaction, and inner peace. We promote active participation and underscore the importance of collective efforts, fostering unity and collaboration.
We deeply respect all religions and diverse schools of thought at the Peace School. Our mission is to foster an inclusive and tolerant environment where individuals of different beliefs can unite harmoniously. Our common ground is a shared commitment to humanity and the pursuit of a dignified life for all.
To celebrate the diversity within our community, the Peace School organizes events that honour religious, ethnic, and national occasions. These events serve as cultural festivities, promoting understanding and appreciation of different traditions.
While religious topics are not part of our core curriculum, we recognize the importance of providing students with opportunities to explore and learn about different religions. Therefore, if a student expresses a genuine interest in understanding a particular religion, we approach it as an educational project, offering resources and guidance for their exploration.
It is essential to note that the Peace School emphasizes fostering a spiritual rather than a religious movement. While we respect nationalities, borders, and legal frameworks, we actively avoid nativism. Our goal is to cultivate a global perspective that transcends divisive boundaries and promotes unity, empathy, and cooperation among all individuals.
At the Peace School, we uphold and commit to the principles outlined in various international documents adopted by the United Nations and its affiliates. These include but are not limited to:
Moreover, we embrace any other convention or international agreement that contributes to creating a world where all individuals can lead equitable, equal, just, and peaceful lives, regardless of location.
