Campus
The school was originally named "Helen C. Peirce" but in 1993, it was selected to participate in the Chicago Board of Education Specialty School Program and was renamed the Helen C. Peirce School of International Studies. Every school year, a different country is studied.
In 1999, a new section was added to the facility. In 2010 Perice officially became a part of the IB (International Baccalaureate) programme MYP (Middle Years Programme 6th-8th grade)
