Among the manyvirtues, peace has always been perceived as a one of humanity's highest core values. Therefore,the education systems of most countries in the world have pursued peace education as an ultimate value. Education in Paraguay cannot be the exception. Various curriculums and textbooks deal with the contents relating to peace education, and most teachers have implemented education-related peace through a variety of subjects at school. Based on this awareness, this paper aims to examine peace education conducted in schools in Paraguay, based on the theories of peace education. For this purpose, this study, utilizing the analysis framework(educational objectives, contents, and methods), attempts to analyze documents of curriculums and 4-6 grades social studies textbooks used in elementary schools. The result of analysis, worth noting, revealed through the analysis of curriculums and textbooks, is that their orientation is focused on social maintenance, rather than social change. Peace education is oriented toward cognitive, affective, and behavioral integration;however, the scope of practice has been limited to activities within the school.
