Mission Statement

At Peace Valley School we encourage all learners to make education real. To do this, we learn by working together on real-world projects to solve universal problems. By practicing healthy communication to solve a common problem through inquiry, we can garner a sense of responsibility instead of entitlement. We can become perpetual learners with the courage and life-skills that entails. We can discover who we are and help each other grow. We can be the change we want to see in the world.

Description

Peace Valley School is a non-profit, private secondary school for 12 students ages 10 and up. The one room, one farm model was developed by Molly Lord-Garrettson. Here, students are empowered to see the world and make a difference.

The school is located on a 5-acre farm (Odd Duck Farm) which is home to our founder/director’s family, a young orchard, a market garden, 6 happy chickens, and a cat. Learning will take place everywhere, but the heart of the school will be the loft in the farm house, which was specifically designed to be a classroom from the start. Visit Molly’s Blog to watch the classroom emerge before our Fall 2017 opening.
