How we teach

Students are at the center of all we do. Because we want students to not merely know but to understand, we design all learning experiences with a focus on outcomes. Students learn in multiple ways, so our learning environment extends well beyond the classroom, throughout our 360-acre campus, into the broader community, and beyond.

Students thrive within Principia’s robust, experiential approach to learning. Engaged in authentic, hands-on projects, they develop as critical thinkers, effective communicators, and innovative problem solvers—while strengthening core competencies in literacy, numeracy, science, and the arts.

Experiential Learning

Project-based learning channels curiosity as students actively connect theory, practice, and reflection.
