Enrollment open for Peace Academy summer programs
The Peace Academy of the Sciences and Arts is a non-profit educational program with the goal to inspire a community of lifelong learners who become caretakers and peace leaders
for our world. Last summer, we provided an amazingly successful 4 week full-day enrichment program for over 40 children in SLO County.
This summer, we open our doors to serve 50% more students with a new and curriculum. New and returning children will embark on a 4-week learning journey, together, yet each in their own unique way, to become scientists, critical thinkers, authors, cooks, performers, coders, and problem solvers while having tons of fun! On the beautiful property of the Rancho El Chorro Outdoor School, with a flowing creek, waterfall, and wildlife, we’ve filled each session with Peace Academy traditions that embody our pillars of self-awareness, environmental stewardship, and global citizenship. Children will examine nature through microscopes and gain perspective with comparisons to their views from atop the mountain trails. To enroll your child go to peaceacademyslo.org
Our program highlights:
• 8:1 student to teacher ratio
• Beautiful outdoor and indoor learning spaces
• Meal-prepping fun in a full kitchen
• Learn through creative play
• Values-based curriculum
• Focus on compassion and socio-emotional health
• New curriculum every summer, and so much more!
Also new this summer: The first annual Teen Leadership Summit to serve as platform for
teens to connect and collaborate on global issues. Attendees receive up to 20 hours of
community service credit for school and college applications. For one week, attendees will
examine the 30 human rights declared by the UN in 1948 and use evidence-based analysis
to assess the ways in which countries may violate and enforce these rights. Engaging in
intellectual conversations and advocacy, students will connect with local and national
leaders.
Your donations will help us cover 2019 summer programs, teacher salaries, summer site
rental, and also assists in helping more students access this summer’s enrichment program
through a scholarship fund. Your tax-deductible contribution furthers Peace Academy’s
mission: to inspire in students a deep understanding of self and others through a learning
culture that celebrates creative innovation, enriched collaborative experiences, and
connection through core human values.
We are grateful for our donors’ contributions towards growing the Peace Academy
community and supporting our efforts towards a peace-filled and sustainable future for our
children! Thank you for your contribution and support of our school’s continued growth
and service to the community.
