Student Volunteers Spread Hope and Build a Home

Over the Christmas break, a group of 18 Upper School freshmen and sophomores (and four chaperones) traveled to the Dominican Republic to participate in the “Homes for Hope” service project, coordinated by the nonprofit agency Youth With a Mission (YWAM).

Until recently, the “DR Trip” was the sophomore class’s ...

Upper School Welcomes Visiting Chinese Students

It’s a long way from Guangxi Province, China, to St. Louis, Missouri—geographically, culturally, and linguistically. So, before their departure, the nine Chinese students from Liuzhou High School who are visiting Principia Upper School for two weeks were both excited and a little nervous about what to expect and how they ...

In this globalized, high-tech world—where existing information is rapidly superseded by new “facts”—Principia School graduates will face exciting opportunities as well as unforeseen challenges.

“We cannot solve economic, political, environmental, or other problems that are coming up in the world through one lens,” says the School’s Dean of Innovation ...

Introducing Upper School’s Assistant Principal
