After-School All-Stars (ASAS)
Helen C. Peirce School of International Studies offers its students many opportunities to participate in a myriad of after school enrichment programs each year. We are proud of the dedication and creativity of Peirce teachers who teach many of the classes that students participate in throughout the year. ASAS typically begins in late October and runs through the end of March. |
Fee-based programming
Peirce has been able to bring programs from our community into our school to provide fee-based after school programs. These programs require enrollment with each organization. Please contact individual organizations for more information or to enroll your student in a program.
