AcaDEMICS
Helen C. Peirce School of International Studies is a Level 1+ rated neighborhood school serving the Andersonville and Edgewater Community. The administration, teachers, and staff are dedicated to providing a high quality learning experience for every child who attends Peirce Elementary.
Peirce has established a reputation for providing a quality academic experience for neighborhood children. We're proud to have obtained International Baccalaureate World Status by becoming a fully Authorized IB Primary Primary Years Program (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP) School in collaboration with Nicholas Senn High School.
We're committed to enriching our students academic experience with arts, library and technology. Not only do we have certified full time teachers specializing in Spanish, Art, Music, Dance, Technology, Library and two PE teachers, but they all have their own classroom! We have partnered with local arts agencies to provide in-class teaching artist experiences and will continue to support arts integration in the classroom which align to our IB units of study to ensure that our students get the richest of educational experiences. We have a computer lab as well as 21 additional Chromebook carts that helped ensure 1:1 Chromebook access for every student in grades 3-8. In addition, we also have 3 IPAD and 1 Chromebook cart to support technology integration in the classroom.
We also care deeply about supporting our students in their Social-Emotional Development. We have a full time Case Manager who ensures that students are getting appropriate academic supports, and a full time Counselor who works with teachers to ensure that students have necessary social-emotional learning supports to become successful.
