Coeus students in the 5th through 8th grades attended the 2006 Prayer Vigil for the Earth to experience a truly international and multi-cultural array of service-oriented people and activities that further the school's mission. Community and Service is a core pillar of Coeus' curricular framework, along with Environmentalism, Health and Social Education, and "Homo Faber" (humans as creators). Students expanded their mental and spiritual horizons in joining their elders to assist with set-up for the Prayer Vigil, including raising Tipis.

Coeus International School opened in Washington, DC, in September to students in the 5th through 10th grades. Coeus cultivates world citizenship and peacemaking skills in its students and offers students immersion in Spanish, French, Arabic, and Mandarin Chinese. The mission of the school is to educate young people to develop intellectual capacity and creativity, cultivate emotional intelligence and healthy relationships, achieve academic excellence and proficiency in world languages, value cultural diversity, and acquire peacemaking skills. In partnership with One Common Unity (www.onecommonunity.org), Coeus is establishing itself as a premier locus for innovative peace education in Washington, DC, and the world. www.coeusis.org
