Coexist advances schools in divided communities where children learn side-by- side in integrated classrooms. Schools Across Divides projects focus in areas that are susceptible to instability and unrest due to pronounced cultural, religious, and ethnic fault lines. Learning together at a young age develops knowledge, relationships, and shared action, thus advancing social cohesion and breaking the cycle of conflict.

The Schools Across Divides program provides children access to schools and improves school facilities, living conditions of students, curriculum, nutritional programs, educational programming, and salaries for qualified instructors and staff. These programs empower the next generation through quality education and strengthen the bonds of their communities.
