The Pax Curriculum

Brought to you by LifeTree Learning Systems

Peace, according to Montessori philosophy, does not mean weakness, and it does not mean the simple absence of war. It means inner harmony and strong individuality, a full participation in community life, responsiveness to the world, and stewardship of its resources. It means respect for human dignity and diversity, and due diligence in protecting and supporting the rights of all. It is to this definition of peace that we dedicate our most passionate efforts.” — Statement released by the American Montessori Society shortly after 9/11/2001

If we are to have real peace, we must begin with the children.” - Mahatma Gandhi
