Welcome to Pierce School!

Any child eligible to enter grades K-8 residing in the Pierce School district in the Town of Brookline, may register to attend. Since Pierce is a public school supported by taxpayers, there are no application fees or entrance exams. As long as you can show proof of residency, a space will be made available to your child.
