Parent: My daughter came to Principia this Fall after a difficult experience at her CA public school during the pandemic. The teachers and staff have helped her improve her grades drastically, raise her self-esteem (which was in tatters), and make strong friendships. Her experiential learning trip with the Junior class to Maine was an unforgettable experience of a lifetime! Principia's commitment to the education of the "whole man" is sincere and truly all-encompassing. Her experience in the dorm has been fantastic with a loving home staff that treats these kids like family. Now she is trying a new sport for the first time, and the coaches has been a wonderful support and source of encouragement. In short, my child got her life back at Principia, in a community that sees her for what she truly can be. We are so grateful. The academics are rigorous. The classes are small. And the teaching staff is top-notch!... Read 125 reviews

Parent: St. Paul is an amazing school, i have two children attending this school and their experience has been great. They are very pleased with the school, the ambiance, the dorm, the food, activitives, sports and academics. My children have made so many friends from diverse cultures and they have truly been ecstatic about their experience so far. They are both motivated by their teachers and have learnt to manage their time better as well as draw closer to God. The school has gone above and beyond with the measures and procedures they have put in place for the prevention of Covid-19. I am thankful for the school and their great team.... Read 25 reviews

Senior: From the outside we might look like a cult. Many times we have outdoor events. Driving in the country on a well used highway and seeing a bunch of kids run around wearing the same thing or walk the square can seem a little unsettling. But, we are the farthest thing from a cult. We choose. Who we want to be. What we want to do. Our teachers are great teachers, unbiased and willing to help. I struggle junior year solely due to the curriculums but when I say these teachers picked me up I MEAN IT! The students are super chill as well. Coming from all different backgrounds. I think that’s what makes me most proud of Sunnydale. We appreciate each other’s cultures with no discrimination. I mean, racists are the minority at our school. And so far, I have only seen 1 or 2, maybe it’s because we’re in the country side I don’t know. Check out Sunnydale, we’re thriving and very spontaneous. Our schedule changes so much. :) Shaka...

Parent: This was an outstanding place for my son. It helped him to get his life on track. Many kids don't like it at first, but almost every young man I've spoken with has said that this place has helped him. My son still reaches out to several staff that had a positive impact on him. Would definitely recommend.... Read 4 reviews
