Education

To empower students and leaders through education.

Children dream of becoming doctors, teachers, nurses, pastors, and so much more…their dreams can come true, but only with an education. Peachtree’s mission partners for education all seek to provide the educational foundation upon which the next generation can become who God created them to be.

We seek to not only provide an education, but to see that education empowers the youth of today to be the leaders of tomorrow—leaders in the Church, home, community, and place of work.
