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. 

 

Our early application deadline for fall 2021 is February 1, 2021. 

Contact us to schedule a virtual visit.

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.

Important Dates: U.S. Students

  • Early application deadline for fall 2021 is February 1, 2021.
  • Priority application deadline for fall 2021 is April 1, 2021.

Important Dates: International Students

  • Applications for fall 2021 are due February 1, 2021.

Admission Criteria

Every student’s application is given careful consideration with an emphasis on these key areas: academics and citizenship; commitment to growth in Christian character, and a desire to live in accord with Principia's Community Commitment and Expectations.

Along with the completed application, the following items are required:

  • 2.5 minimum core GPA (for high school applicants)
  • On-campus visit including interviewing and testing
  • Academic transcripts/grade reports
  • References
  • TOEFL for international applicants

We do not charge an application fee.

Applications are completed online. Once a parent has created an account, a checklist will guide him or her through the steps for completing the application. If you are a current Principia School parent, you may log in using your existing username and password and look for "New Student Application" under the Resources tab.
