Belonging and Community

School Multi-Level
 

At Principia School, we lead with love.

As our core value, love underpins our foundational beliefs as well as our whole-person educational approach: intellectual, physical, spiritual, and moral development. Love provides the foundation for all we do, strengthening individuals and unifying our School community.

Belonging and Equity at Principia

With Christian Science as our foundation, we view every member of the Principia community as the unlimited image and likeness of God (Gen. 1:26). We seek to elevate humanity by fostering, nurturing, and inspiring individual and collective spiritual growth.

Diversity in perspectives, experiences, and how people uniquely express themselves strengthens our community. Principia School strives to provide its community members with equitable access to all opportunities and resources. We support and respect individual healthcare choices without judgment.

We commit to respectful engagement with one another and will work to remove prejudice and misunderstanding. We are a community based on prayer, integrity, respect, trust, and love. Together, we foster and sustain inclusive learning, living, and working environments where everyone feels they belong and are valued.

Principia fosters an environment in which all its community members feel valued and celebrated. Our program is designed to cultivate compassionate changemakers who want to make a positive difference in their communities and the world, starting with love. Love is at the core of all we do.

– Dr. Merry Sorrells, Head of School

Principia School’s Core Value

What does it mean to lead with love? The Principia experience is characterized by:

  • Limitless potential: Students are challenged and supported in equal measure, stretching them beyond their comfort zones and revealing talents and qualities previously unknown to them.
  • Overcoming obstacles: Preparing students for success beyond the classroom means instilling the skills, approaches, and confidence to problem-solve effectively.
  • Valuing God, ourselves, and others: The foundation of Principia's character-based approach to education is in the Christian values of "love God, and love your neighbor as yourself." (Matt 22:37-39) This opens the door to equity, empathy, and spiritual-mindedness.
  • Embracing excellence: In all they do, students are encouraged to demand excellence of themselves, their classmates, and teammates.
