Buddhist Peace School

Our education program aims to provide education to children in an ethical learning environment so that children can become conscientious citizens. The program rests on three pillars (the Buddha’s teachings, African traditional wisdom, and the secular education curriculum).

We established the first and only Buddhist-founded school, known as the Buddhist Peace Schools, which combines a pre-school, primary school, and secondary school.

Currently, we have  95 children enrolled in our pre-school, 165 children in the primary section, and 38 children in our secondary school. The kids range from 3 to 5 years old in the pre-school, 6 to 14 years old in primary school, and 13 to 18 years old in secondary school. These combine novice monks at the Temple, orphans, and vulnerable children from the surrounding communities.

In its infancy stage, and at the primary level, the school has a substantial number of full-time staffs recruited from the neighbouring villages and other parts of the country. We also often receive international volunteers from around the world who come to support the school in various ways including teaching languages such as French, English, German and Spanish.
Currently, we have 260 children enrolled and 14 teachers in Pre-school and Primary school.
