Creative Arts & Sciences (CAS)

The Peirce PTO's Creative Arts & Sciences (CAS) program brings engaging, hands-on enrichment experiences to every grade. Each year, students participate in two to three enrichment programs.

CAS programs are thoughtfully selected and coordinated by PTO volunteers in collaboration with Peirce teachers. They are made possible through the generosity of Peirce families.
