Welcome to the Center for Safe Schools!  
The Center for Safe Schools and Communities is a non profit organization that has taken leadership in developing The PEACE Social Intelligence Program  that is highly effective with at risk youth. This model took its roots from the original Aggression Replacement Training program developed by the late Arnold P. Goldstein from Syracuse University.  His program is well-researched, and effective and  is used world-wide with delinquent youths and more recently as a social emotional learning model for all kids to teach them the skills they need to become academically and socially successful.  The Center offers trainings in the PEACE Curriculum - Social Intelligence model.  Other trainings we offer include character education, K-12 Model Guidance programs, Restorative Justice, Parent Empowerment, conflict mediation, peer helping, effective discipline programs, grant writing, alternative school development and school-wide character education.  Our non-profit organization and our staff is working toward creating a "family" of individuals that improve the way we build social skills and character with children and families. We hope you participate in our mission and volunteer to help us do an even better job creating safe and productive communities!

The SPRING FLING was a huge success!

Loyola University Study Shows Social Emotional Learning is

Necessary for Academic Success

In a study from Chicago's Loyola University they found that students who took part in Social Emotional learning programs improved their grades and standardized test scores by 11 percentile points.  The difference was significant, equivalent to moving a student from the middle of the class to the top 40%.  Participating students also improved on 5 key non academic measures: greater positive behavior skills, less emotional stress, better attitudes, fewer conduct problems  such as bullying and suspensions and more frequent positive behaviors such as cooperation.  Broad based social skills programs were found to be more effective than specific bullyproofing programs.
