Notes
The Peace Center adopts a holistic approach to education: members are educated in academic subjects and vocational skills and trained in self-care, hygiene, health practices, home economics, mobility, and other practical life skills. Instructors are also visually impaired and serve as mentors. Students live and work together with several faculty and staff in a shared boarding house facility.
