The Peirce School encompasses a diverse school population. We believe that our diversity is clearly one of our many strengths. Children are valued and respected for who they are and opportunities are provided for them to be able to share their talents and contribute to the school community. Peirce School is child centered, a place where each child is looked at as an individual and encouraged and challenged to reach his or her fullest potential. Teachers continually strive to meet each child's individual needs and learning style to help develop confident independent learners. 

In addition to our Core Values, Peirce School practices and encourages Peirce Pride: Perseverance, Effort, Integrity, Responsibility, Cooperation and Excellence.  We find Peirce School to be a special place. Our teachers take pride in providing a nurturing, yet challenging, learning experience, while our parents take pride in supporting our school. We believe that Peirce School is a thriving community due to the collaborative commitment and effort of teachers, students and parents. Building a partnership between school and home establishes a solid foundation towards reaching our common goal - the success of each child.  Again, welcome to Peirce Elementary School in Arlington, MA, Home of Peirce Pride!
