Educating for Peace

At Our Lady of Peace High School, we believe that education is a sacred journey toward mutual understanding and the common good. In the heart of Marawi, our mission is to be a visible sign of Christ’s peace, walking alongside families of different faiths to form young leaders who are rooted in compassion and integrity.

We achieve our mission by:

✅Walking with Families: Building deep partnerships with parents to ensure the total human and spiritual development of every student.

✅Integrating Faith and Life: Providing academic excellence that is harmonized with the values of the Gospel, fostering a culture of dialogue, respect, and peace.

✅Modeling Christ’s Presence: Witnessing to God’s love in a multi-faith environment, inspiring students to lead with a servant’s heart in both the Church and the wider society.

✅Opening the Doors of Opportunity: Ensuring that a quality, value-based education remains accessible and affordable for those on the margins of our community.

Why an MJ Education?

In the heart of Marawi, Our Lady of Peace High School serves as a beacon of reconciliation. We provide an environment where the Gospel of Peace meets the realities of the frontier, forming students who are not only scholars but bridge-builders.

At our Mission School, we offer:

• An Encounter with Peace: Every student is given the opportunity to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, while learning to respect the diverse spiritual journeys of their neighbors.

• Values for Life: We celebrate core values—faith, moral excellence, and compassion—that serve as a source of inner strength and resilience amidst the challenges of our region.

• Academic Excellence: High standards in core subjects like Math and Literacy, ensuring our students are prepared to compete and lead alongside their peers across the nation.

• Personalized Accompaniment: Small class sizes that allow our teachers to provide personalized instruction, ensuring that every child—regardless of their learning needs—is seen and supported.

• A Tapestry of Diversity: A student population strengthened by a diversity of cultures and backgrounds, where Christians and Muslims learn to live together as "Friends and Disciples."

• Vocation-Driven Educators: Motivated teachers and administrators who view their students as "Gifts from God." They continuously hone their skills to serve our youth with the highest professional and spiritual care.

• Bridges to the Future: Strong partnerships with higher institutions and mission networks that help our graduates transition into further studies and leadership roles.

• A Supportive Community: A warm school family where parents with shared values support one another in raising the next generation of peaceful leaders.

• A Sanctuary of Safety: A secure environment where peace is practiced daily. Every adult in our community is thoroughly vetted and committed to the absolute safeguarding of every child.

• Holistic Growth: Enrichment programs and activities designed to build well-rounded individuals ready to succeed in life and contribute to the rebuilding of our society.

• Accessible Mission: We work tirelessly to keep tuition affordable through the support of our global partners, ensuring that a value-based education is a right, not a privilege.

A Story of Hope

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Prayer for Collaboration among Different Religious Traditions.

Lord Jesus, You, who in diversity are one and look lovingly at every person, help us to recognize ourselves as brothers and sisters, called to live, pray, work, and dream together. We live in a world full of beauty, but also wounded by deep divisions. Sometimes, religions, instead of uniting us, become a cause of confrontation. Give us your Spirit to purify our hearts, so that we may recognize what unites us and, from there, learn again how to listen and collaborate without destroying. May the concrete examples of peace, justice, and fraternity in religions inspire us to believe that it is possible to live and work together, beyond our differences. May religions not be used as weapons or walls, but rather lived as bridges and prophecy: making the dream of the common good credible, accompanying life, sustaining hope, and being the yeast of unity in a fragmented world.

Amen.

Invest in a Future of Peace

The walls of a classroom are often the first line of defense against violence and despair. At Our Lady of Peace High School, your support does more than buy textbooks; it sustains a sanctuary where Christian and Muslim youth learn to replace prejudice with friendship.

In a region that has known the shadows of conflict, your generosity provides the light of education. By partnering with us, you help rebuild not just buildings, but the very fabric of a community rooted in mutual respect and the Prince of Peace.

Your gift today can provide:

• Scholarships for students affected by displacement and poverty.

• Safe Spaces for learning, dialogue, and community healing.

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God." (Matthew 5:9)
