Legacies of Love

We often remind ourselves that everything at Principia is the result of a gift. Steadfast supporters of Principia and its unique Christ-idea in education have a keen interest in contributing to its long-term success. We have relied on this wonderful continuum of generosity since Mary Kimball Morgan founded the school over a century ago. We hope you will help us perpetuate this tangible expression of love in a way that's right for you.
