Peace Valley School is one school, on one farm and hopes to inspire a small educational revolution nurturing integrated learning and self-directed studies.
The brand had to speak to potential students but equally address community members and potential investors. It was also necessary to differentiate from other schools in the area.
The challenge was to create an integrated identity program strong enough to launch the school, while including reliable style guidelines allowing the program to grow and scale.
Working with the founder, Molly Lord-Garrettson, and the PVS Board of Directors, I led a strategy session further crystallizing the idea of developing students by building self-sufficiency and facilitating conscious choices.
Together the branded elements played an important role in communicating the attitude and personality of integrated learning.
The branding helped to quickly ramp up attendance and was pivotal in producing investment returns of $99K.
We worked with Sanders building the branding and messaging for Peace Valley School and couldn’t have hoped for a better team or results.
