School Notes:
  • Principia College is a small liberal arts college of approximately 550 students. It is located on the bluffs of the Mississippi River in Elsah, Illinois, USA, and is unique as the only college or university in the world solely for Christian Scientists. Students on Principia's Solar Car Team come from every field of study - including nearly every major in both the liberal arts and the sciences. While Principia does not have a self-contained engineering department, it offers an engineering degree through joint programs with other universities.
  • Principia's primary purpose became to serve the Cause of Christian Science as an educational institution — not through teaching the theology of Christian Science, but through providing programs which would allow its students to grow intellectually, athletically, socially, morally, and spiritually with the support and example of both fellow students and faculty.
  • Principia is a school for Christian Scientists on two campuses in the St. Louis, Missouri, area. Programs for infants through seniors in high school are located in West St. Louis County. Fifty miles away on bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River at Elsah, Illinois, is Principia College.
