Frequently Asked Questions

Why are you making the call so early?

The safety and peace of mind of our participants and community are our top priority. We are adhering to local health department guidelines and exercising an abundance of caution. Events like these entail a significant amount of advance planning—both on the part of Principia and those in attendance. With that in mind, and out of consideration for everyone involved, we felt this decision needed to be made early and definitively, in order to allow everyone sufficient time to plan.

What about other Principia spring/summer events (i.e., graduation)?

To keep abreast of events at Principia School and College, we recommend checking the online Update Center for the most recent information. You’re always welcome to contact the Alumni & Field Relations Office at alum@principia.edu. 

Will my Summer Session deposit be refunded?
