The name ” THE PRINCE OF PEACE INTEGRATED SCHOOL” was conceived because the people behind the school believe that JESUS CHRIST, being born as the PRINCE OF PEACE, as in the Biblical verse Isaiah 9:6, is also the best teacher during His time and up to the present. His title “The Prince of Peace” deserves to be exalted especially in present times when the world needs the urgency of recognizing someone who can truly give the peace that comes from the Lord.

Our Core Values
The Prince of Peace Integrated School’s core value is LOVE. The love of God is the source of all things good, and we should all be rooted and established in God’s love (Ephesians 3:17). Nothing in our lives will ever really amount to anything if we do not have love (1 Corinthians 13:1). It is the main fruit of the Spirit out of which springs forth all the other virtues that every believer of Jesus Christ is to nurture and demonstrate. We show that we love God by keeping His commands (1 John 5:3). We know and rely on the love God has for us, for God is love. And whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them (1 John 4:16) GALATIANS 5:22-23 1 CORINTHIANS 13:1-8 Love Love never fails. (v. Joy Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. (v. 6) Peace Love does not envy; it keeps no record of wrongs. (v. 4, 5) Patience Love is patient. (v.4) Kindness Love is kind (v. 4) Goodness Love does not dishonor others, it is not self.-seeking. (v.5) Faithfulness Love always protects, always trusts always hopes, always perseveres. (v. 7,) Meekness Love does not boast; it is not proud. (v.4) Self-Control Love is not easily angered (v. 5)
The love of God is the source of all things good. We are called to be rooted and established in His love (Ephesians 3:17), for nothing we do amounts to anything without it (1 Corinthians 13:1).
Love is the first fruit of the Spirit — and the wellspring from which every other virtue flows. We show our love for God by keeping His commands (1 John 5:3), and we come to know His love by living in it.
“Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.”

Our Philosophy
At Prince of Peace Integrated School, we view the educational process through the lens of our faith in Jesus Christ, with the essential elements being the learner, the curriculum, and the teacher. Our philosophy is based on the following beliefs
A Christ-centered understanding of the student:
We believe that every student is a unique individual, created by Jesus Christ to know and follow Him. As such, we treat each child as a precious creation made in the image of God and value their talents and abilities equally in the classroom and the school community.
A Christ-centered curriculum:
Our enhanced DepEd Curriculum explores the world that Jesus created and our role within it. Through their learning experiences, students discover Jesus’ perspective on the world and how He wants us to interact with it.
A Christ-centered approach to teaching:
The goal of the teachers is not just to impart knowledge but instead, to guide each learner to develop wisdom on how to use their knowledge, gifts, and talents in a way that brings about a positive impact to the world and give glory to God.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide:
- Quality and Christ-centered education at an affordable cost
- Innovative learning modalities that promote holistic growth and academic excellence
- A loving, safe, and conducive learning environment, both physical and virtual
- Social development programs that foster partnerships with stakeholders
Our Vision
Our Motto
” Where Christ is the center and the child is the focus. “
