The core aim of integrated schools is to provide the child with a caring self-fulfilling educational experience which will enable him/her to become a fulfilled and caring adult. The harmonious, peaceful environments that characterize integrated schools in Northern Ireland are particularly significant in that they have developed within a larger social context that has been fraught with separation and conflict. This article discusses the creation and development of unique schools in Northern Ireland where Catholic and Protestant students come together in settings that promote mutual understanding, respect, and cooperation. The purpose of this article is not to suggest that integrated education is a panacea for sectarianism, bias, or conflict in Northern Ireland (or elsewhere). Indeed, educators in the integrated sector continue working, with varying degrees of success, to address those issues, and research continues to enlighten practice. This article presents aspects of the integrated approach that foster the development of knowledge, skills, and dispositions that allow members of the school community to live and learn together peaceably.
