As we begin the 2026–2027 school year, we’re excited to introduce this year’s inspirational theme:

“Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.”
— Christian Science Hymnal, No. 521

Throughout the year, this theme will invite our community to consider what it means to live peace—in our classrooms, on the field, on stage, in our relationships, and in the way we show up for one another each day.

What does “let it begin with me” mean to you? 💙

Explore & Grow: Principia School

Holding an insect in your hand is a much more powerful way to learn about it than looking at a picture. Seeing, touching and drawing a plant can help you understand it more fully. Taking time for a walk in nature can inspire creativity and innovation. Principia School believes that offering students the opportunity for outdoor experiences is a key component of a well-balanced education. Located in Town and Country, the private day and boarding school serves students in preschool through grade 12, and it’s on the forefront of changes in educational methods and techniques.
