Change The World Educate Girls
Dr. Mella Davis, founder of MasterPeace Academy, hails originally from Richmond, Texas. She came to YWAM Worcester (Youth with a Mission) in the summer of 2012 with a vision: to build an exemplary school.
She has 25 years of experience in education, having taught everything from grade R to graduate school. She holds a doctorate in performance studies, a masters in folklore, a masters- level certification in education, and a dual bachelors degrees in English and in French.
Her interdisciplinary focus on humanities and social sciences facilitates a multidisciplinary approach to education. This unique lens allows her to teach from a holistic perspective of how the subjects interrelate. Her students have attended top-tier universities such as Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and Notre Dame. But her greatest blessing is seeing students walking in their faith and giving back to their communities. Her goal is to provide excellent English-medium education to anyone who desires, no matter from where they hail.
Teachers of the Nations’ English language School: Masterpeace Academy
Teachers of the Nations is committed to building schools of excellence for Africa. In particular, it is our goal to provide access to quality education primarily for underprivileged and neglected students.
Mission Statement: To broaden students’ worldview, develop individual potential, and enrich community life through access to a multi- disciplinary and compelling educational experience.
Market: At present, there is no local school singularly devoted to educating youth in the area using a challenging curriculum such as the International Baccalaureate and Cambridge A-level standards. In Worcester presently, there exists a need for an English-medium school that include students from disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged backgrounds. Our potential student population would also include Anglo-phone and foreign students who presently reside in Worcester with missionary families.
Concluding Remarks: MasterPeace Academy is sure to appeal to those parents who desire their children to learn in a first-rate English-speaking institution with compelling studies and demanding academic rigor. Nestled in the beautiful setting of the Worcester wine-country, the school provides safety and security, making it truly an enviable place to study.

The children were ready to make their gingerbread men today. Smocked and filled with joy, they entered the ministry house. We began our day with our declarations and a couple songs, then it was off to the races
