Arts
From preschool through senior year, Principia students ignite their imaginations and hone their skills as they explore the arts—theatre, music, singing, dance, and the visual arts. Top-notch training and facilities help unleash their innate creativity while encouraging collaboration, persistence, careful listening, and keen observation, skills that enrich every aspect of student life and learning.
Performing Arts
Our band, choir, theatre, and dance programs offer plentiful opportunities for students to perform and produce for appreciative audiences all through the year.
Visual Arts
Students develop their expressive skills in 2D, 3D, and media arts, integrating these into cross-disciplinary projects for their language, science, and social studies coursework.

Award-Winning Artist
Marlaina Mathisen (US’17) at work on her senior project—an all-ceramic, undersea scene. Marlaina was awarded a scholarship for View from Home (top left), which was chosen for the 2017 National Ceramics Exhibition. She's using the award to study at the Kansas City Art Institute, which is known for its ceramics program.
Our Arts Spaces
Students love working together in our newly renovated Performing Arts Center and professional-grade Black Box theatre. And our light, bright art studios are ideal places to imagine, explore, and create.
