Peace Through Education

The Peaceful Solution Character Education Incorporated (PSCEI) is a non-profit organization devoted to promoting character education as its main tool for positive character development. Concurrent with its purpose, the PSCEI has developed The Peaceful Solution Character Education Program (PSCEP) with a variety of courses designed to reach all ages so the impact of character change can be realized and effected in society.
