The Carter School Peace Labs incubate innovative, multidisciplinary, and participatory research initiatives to explore new frontiers in conflict prevention and peacebuilding.

Our transition to the Carter School is a declaration of our position and an affirmation that we, as a school, pursue a particular set of values: compassion, humility, solidarity, a calling for social justice, and a commitment to peace.

Learn to build skills to create a better world. Amid the growing effort to provide comprehensive education to nurture the field of conflict resolution, the Carter School stands as a beacon.
