About Principia

For over one hundred years, Principia has educated children in a manner and atmosphere consistent with Christian Science. Faculty and staff seek to develop the whole man by nurturing each student’s intellectual, spiritual, moral, social, and physical growth.

The Principia School in St. Louis County, Missouri, serves children from birth through high school. Principia College, across the Mississippi river in Elsah, Illinois, provides a liberal arts education to a diverse student body from over 20 countries.

Although Principia accepts only Christian Science students and is staffed by Christian Scientists, it is an independent educational institution, not an activity of the Christian Science Church.

Working at Principia

Along with competitive salaries and an excellent benefits package, employment at Principia includes the unique advantage of a professional workplace embedded in a family-friendly environment. Employees are welcome to attend the many concerts and talks on campus as well as student athletic events, productions, and presentations.

In addition, both campuses are close enough to St. Louis that employees and their families can easily take advantage of the city’s museums, theaters, professional sports teams, symphony and jazz venues, and more.

Best of all, since every job at Principia supports its educational mission, each employee has the privilege of fostering young Christian Scientists’ spiritual growth. It’s hard to imagine any more important work!
