Three Upper School students’ work was chosen to be featured in the highly selective 2020 Emerson Young Artists' Showcase, an all-media exhibition of artwork created by high school students in the St. Louis area. And one Principia student received special recognition—Chloe Ouellette won the Nada Silver Prize ($250)!

Students and Staff Attend Conferences on Diversity

This fall a handful of Upper School students and staff journeyed to the National Association of Independent Schools People of Color Conference (for adults) and the simultaneous Student Diversity Leadership Conference (for students) in Seattle, Washington, with the goal of becoming better allies and community members. Students were chosen to ...

Putting Scientific Principles into Practice in the Tetons

The Upper School’s Teton Trip to Wyoming has been a staple at Principia since the early 1980s, with this year as no exception. Started in 1982, the trip was designed by science teacher Ted Munnecke (C’57)—lovingly known as “Munn”—to provide interdisciplinary education before “interdisciplinary” became a buzzword. Munn understood that, ...

Middle School’s "Frozen Jr."—a Tour de Force

One week after winter break, friends and family gathered in the Lower School gym to watch Middle School students perform Frozen Jr. The sold-out production, which enthralled the audience, was all the more incredible because students had put it together in just one week of intense work, dubbed “Theatre Week.” ...

Both Principia School and College are ready to welcome all qualified Christian ...

Communities Big and Small

Community is so foundational to society that adults often forget they had to learn about the concept. This year, the first-grade class is discovering, through experiential education, what it means to be part of a community.

Before creating their own communities, represented by 3D maps, the students did some ...

Breaking Bread for a Good Cause

The second annual Empty Bowls community dinner and art event, held in the School's House Hall in mid-November, was a great success. More than $3,700 was raised for Urban Harvest STL, a nonprofit addressing hunger in the St. Louis area. That’s nearly $1,300 more than was raised at the inaugural ...

Recognizing Excellence in Middle School

On a chilly evening in late November, Middle School students and their families gathered in the Middle School Center to recognize the high-quality work students had accomplished throughout the semester. Projects from all subjects—science, social studies, mathematics, language arts, integrated studies, and Spanish—adorned the walls, tables, and parts of the ...

Boys’ Soccer Wins State Championship

In a 3–2 comeback victory, the varsity boys’ soccer team clinched the Class 1 State Championship against St. Paul Lutheran of Concordia. Their first championship since 2015, it was sweeter than ever in light of last year’s loss during penalty kicks.

Refusing to be rattled by St. Paul getting ...
