The admissions process at Principia is intended to help us get to know students and families and help you determine if we’re a fit for your family. Although it’s comprehensive, it’s also highly personalized, and we strive to make it as hassle-free as possible. 

Principia seeks students who are excited to learn, who give selflessly, who love God with all their heart, love their neighbor as themselves (Matthew 22: 37–39), and are ready to lean into their education and break through limitations.

Principia seeks families who love good and are eager to develop in their children a desire “to think clearly, vigorously, fearlessly, tolerantly, unselfishly” (Principia Policy 6). We partner with families who are curious about fostering a love of God in all that they do and intentionally support their child’s academic and spiritual development at home. Healing and progress is an expectation at Principia, and we seek to help students grow and develop their own spiritual understanding.
