Description

Applied Ethics, Inc. was established in July 2007 as a nonprofit organization based in Massachusetts, USA, with the mission of seeking ethical solutions to significant social issues through projects, education, counseling, and advocacy.

Since 2010, Pax Populi's primary focus has been on peace through education. To this end, we developed an online school, Pax Populi Academy, which until 2021 had focused above all on English language tutoring. Through this program, tutors from over a dozen countries including the United States, India, South Korea, France, Scotland, and many other places worked with Afghan students across the country to assist them in learning English.

After the return of the Taliban, we spent a year working with Afghan refugees and small groups of Afghan women and girls. After concluding that we could continue working in Afghanistan, in the fall of 2023, we launched Pax Populi Academy as an underground full-curriculum school for women and girls who have been banned from attending school beyond 6th grade. The new Pax Populi Academy had a student body of 25 students who met five days a week for a school year that ended on June 30, 2024. We are just finishing up our second academic school year in June 2025, with approximately 75 students in grades 8 through 12, and 20 teachers. We expect to start our third year this fall with approximately 150 students in grades 7 through 12.
