Positive relationships empower
schools to thrive
Through intentional collaboration and programming, Peaceful Schools NC provides strategies for building and sustaining positive relationships within school communities so that all members can thrive.
We believe
A school-wide mindset of supporting healthy relationships can shift the entire culture of a school. When children attend schools where they experience safety and belonging, they are better equipped to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Learn more about our Core Values.
Our Approach
Since 2007, Peaceful Schools NC has partnered with schools to construct professional development and support tailored to their individual needs. We begin by listening and collaboratively building a program that meets a school where they are. Led by teachers, for teachers, we provide effective professional development, consulting, programs for students, and support for families.
Our Impact
“Setting out to improve relationships throughout your school community can sound intimidating, maybe even impossible. But Peaceful Schools’s Restorative Practices training gave me and my team the language, tools, and encouragement to do exactly that.”
