Principia Offers Help to Storm-Affected Families

Recognizing the impact on Christian Science families with school- and college-age children living in areas affected by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, Principia is offering tuition-free enrollment (including no charge for room and board) for the 2017–2018 academic year.

Both Principia School and College are ready to welcome all qualified Christian Science students—preschool through college—from families who may be displaced or are in areas where schools and colleges may not be operational. Students from grade 7 through senior year of college can board on campus; school-age students can also be accepted as day students if their families relocate to the St. Louis area, either short- or long-term.

To obtain assistance and information on qualifying and applying, please use the following contact information:  

• Families with school-age children (preschool through grade 12) may contact Director of Admissions Adriane Fredrikson or call the School Admissions Office at 314.434.2100, ext. 3610. 
• College-age students and their families should contact Director of Admissions Tami Gavaletz, 618.374.5187.

A similar offer made in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 helped several Christian Science families at the time, and the Principia community stands ready to provide educational assistance at this moment.
