The International School for Peace opened in 2004 on the campus of St. Francis in the Foothills United Methodist Church on the corner of North Swan and East River roads.
The school is for children ages 2 through 5. It aims to promote peace within the individual, the community and the world by immersing children in languages and multicultural experiences through a play-based, anti-biased curriculum.
The school operates Monday through Friday and offers full-day preschool, half-day preschool, pre-care and after-care.
The school's directors are Cathy DeMers and Peggy Bower, both of whom have master's degrees in education.
Spanish and English are the main languages used by children who attend the school, but Hebrew and Farsi are also employed.
Children at the school come from a wide variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds.
