The Promise of a New Academic Year

September brings the promise of a new academic year. Everyone has sharp pencils, new books, and starts out with an “A.”

As we engage with what Principia founder Mary Kimball Morgan terms “the consumingly interesting business of running a school,” we are determined to stay focused on the ...

Upper School Newspaper Goes Digital

With energy, foresight, and planning, Principia Upper School’s student-run newspaper keeps up with the news— and keeps up with the fast-changing media environment, too.

Just three years after adopting a vibrant, new full-color look and more cost-effective magazine-style format, The Voice moves to an entirely digital, online format ...

Middle Schoolers Step into History, Culture, and Economics

What do Babe Ruth and dancing the Charleston have to do with understanding the history of United States involvement in World War II? At first glance, not much.

But as one of the war’s most famous protagonists (Winston Churchill) said: “The farther backward you look, the farther forward ...

Renovations Underway as the New Year Arrives

The School campus has been far from deserted this summer—even without the buzz of student activity! Crews of workmen, accompanied by some serious heavy machinery, have been hard at work, undertaking several major capital project improvements throughout the summer months.

Two highly visible and well-used areas will have ...

Expanding academic opportunities, enriching experiential learning, and strengthening curriculum continuity across all levels of the School are major focus areas for the approaching academic year, under new Principal Travis Brantingham.

Faraway Trips Bring Home New Lessons

While hundreds of miles away from their familiar surroundings in three very diverse locations during 2014 “trip week,” Principia Upper schoolers discovered a new appreciation for the concept of home.

Nets, Tweezers, and Balls Spur Student Research

On a recent spring morning, a group of about-to-graduate Upper School seniors and an enthusiastic fifth-grade class set off on a field trip, armed with ice cube trays, tweezers, nets, thermometers, and Ping-Pong balls (!), among other things.

Despite the difference in grade levels, the joint activity at ...

On to Great Things—US Class of 2014

Don’t limit yourself.

Don’t make excuses.

Don’t be afraid to practice Christian Science.

And, when it comes your way, “Catch the darn football!”

With these messages ringing in their ears, the Upper School Class of 2014 walked across the stage on May 25 to receive ...

For Eighth Graders, an End and a New Beginning

On the last day of school, 30 Middle School students took to the Ridgway Auditorium stage to share succinct musings, each one of them shedding fresh light on the varied ways a Principia education has impacted their attitudes, abilities, and achievements. With an endearing combination of confidence and diffidence, ...

Upper School Online Biology Accepting Students

For the third year running, Principia Upper School will be offering a for-credit online biology course for high school students. The 2014–2015 course is available for full-year (one credit) enrollment or as stand-alone units of study for students wishing to be exempt from specific topics in their current biology ...
