A Singing Telegram of Gratitude
Merry Christmas from Principia!
Two Seniors Embark on Emerging Leadership Program

Seniors Kaya Equevilley and Grace Ripley were accepted to the prestigious United Nations Association of the National Capital Area’s (UNA-NCA) Emerging Leaders program. They were selected for their demonstrated interest in and impact championing human rights and global issues. The Emerging Leaders program provides youth leaders with tools and support ...

Selfless Service Reaches Far Ends of the Globe

In preparation for the holidays, students partnered with a variety of charities and organizations, offering support and sharing much-needed joy with neighbors near and far.

This year, Muris Karamovic, a Principia employee, shared an inspiring full-circle story. He recalls receiving a gift box of treasures 26 years ago in ...

A Lesson in Good Taste

Being proactive tastes a lot like chocolate ice cream! At least it did for Lower School students on October 15, when Acting Principal Jane Harrison surprised each class with the sweet treat. Donning an apron and pushing a red and white checkered cart, Harrison entered each classroom to the familiar ...

Extending summer break for students gave administrators more time to meet state and county requirements for in-person instruction. And it gave faculty ...

This year, Principia welcomed 55 new families to the School. They hail from 18 states and four countries. For many of them, the world’s shift last spring to remote learning redefined and clarified their educational desires for their children. The current climate of instruction in most schools felt inadequate. They ...

A Successful Start to Fall Term

With almost a month of classes under their belts, students and faculty at the School and College have settled into the new routines in place for in-person instruction—sanitizing hands, wearing masks, maintaining social distance, and so on. While these protocols alter the learning experience, they do not define it. Students ...

Meet the School’s New Full-Time Faculty and Staff Members

Principia School welcomed 13 new full-time faculty and staff members to the campus this year. With over 100 years of combined academic and professional experience, they bring immense value to the School. For some, a relocation was necessary—from Arizona, South Carolina, and Minnesota, for example. Many brought family with them, ...
