Day in the Life: Middle School

Welcome to Principia Middle School, where student-made mosaics and sculptures adorn the entrance.
We get right down to business at the start of each school day.
We often work in the IDEA Center, taking advantage of the flexible learning spaces and technological resources.
In-class exercises help us perfect our language arts skills.
In math, we work on being algebra-ready by the end of eighth grade.
Our campus is a great place for outdoor study.
Indoors, we like to get hands-on for science.
Between lunch and classes is a great time to catch up with friends.
In grade 6, we all participate in band.
We love exploring our creative side through art.
Here, we’re building a learning station for an outdoor classroom.
All grades have weekly sessions in robotics and engineering design.
At the end of the school day, CATCH gives us time to catch up with teachers and get a head start on homework.
Volleyball is a favorite among our afterschool sports options.
We have boys’ soccer in the fall and girls’ soccer in the spring.
We love sharing our work with family and friends during special evening programs.
