Our Mission & Vision 

Our mission is to guide students to take ownership of their learning through experiential engagement and reflective thinking. We provide a balanced curriculum designed to meet the academic, cultural, and social-emotional needs of our diverse student body. All members of the Peirce community are committed to grow as productive, globally-minded citizens.
 
Through our rigorous Primary Years  and Middle Years Programmes and a differentiated instructional approach: 

• We challenge our students to become critical thinkers while meeting their individual academic needs. 
• We cultivate a learning environment that fosters intellectual, social, and emotional growth.  
• We aspire to develop parental and community partnerships in order to nurture a holistic learning environment and create life-long student achievement that will prepare our students for real-world experiences and higher education.
