    What a beautiful campus. If you can't get a tour, at least drive-thru and enjoy the beauty…read more Did you know that Principia College has found a Mammoth and a Mastodon on their campus. That's a great opportunity for an archeology class, to experience hands on digging and discovery. Be sure to check out the remains in the science building. The architecture is mind blowing. The buildings designed by Bernard R. Maybeck are breath taking. His creative style of designing buildings, should be studied by today's architects. Maybeck designed for Principia between 1924 and 1940 and you'd never think his buildings were build during that time in history. I liked how they don't call the student housing, dorms. They call them, houses and I can tell you that they look more like a house than a dormitory. The "living room" on the main level was spectacular. Even the furniture was overstuffed and out of an Architectural Digest. I was impressed with the size of rooms the students had. They were bigger than someone's bedrooms. The historical Chapel is a beauty to behold, so be sure to check it out. It's close to a bluff, so the view is spectacular in the fall, but also good for the other seasons, as well. A notable graduate and a favorite actor of mine, the Oscar winning, Robert Duvall graduated in 1953 with a degree in drama. Next time you're heading up to Grafton for fun, stop by Elsah and check out the only Christian Science College in the world.

    This is my second time out to this college for my son's annual track meet. I must say this location…read moredefinitely has it's pros and cons. Pros first: thank you for opening up your facility for athletes of all ages to show they talent and compete in an competition full of kids considering they could be doing activities that would lead them down the wrong path. It's a beautiful thing to see all our children compete and enjoy it and leave with recognition and sense of worth. This facility is very nice, clean and fit all families comfortably. Cons : the service of cellphones is nonexistent. It's like once you get inside the facilities your connection to the outside world is gone. That is terrible that no Wi-Fi was available for an all day event . No heat was available as well. We had to sit with coats on for 8 hrs and with that coldness comes headaches and sniffles. My son is a senior so I don't have to deal with this any longer but for future events please think of these small cons and try to address them asap.

    My wife and I graduated from this school in 1995. Her father graduated from the school as well…read more I loved my education and the teachers were excellent. Not sure which of my teachers are left, but look for Larry Hays and Shiela McCarthy. Both are outstanding. I must say that the last time I went back to see the school I got lost due to all of the renovations. When I started at this school, they still had some of the original buildings. I am definitely considering sending my children to this school.

    I attended Whitfield School from 7th grade until I graduated high school and I must say that as…read moremuch as I love to hate it, I did get a damn good education while attending. The faculty was young and innovative in their teaching methods, which pushed me to think critically and be an individual regardless of peer disapproval. The facilities were unlike any other high school I have seen, clean, up to date, and just top-notch all around! The administration was a bit troublesome at times because I felt that the school was more of a corporation rather than a educating establishment. While attending I had many mixed feelings regarding the entire school but now that I am in college I feel that I was blessed and lucky to have been able to attend such a fine school. The people, however, were all the same. And when I say the same I mean the same upper-middle class kids who sport designer labels and conservative ideologies of their parents. Being the free-spirit I am, I found it extremely difficult to "fit in" one single group because of my liberal values. I felt that there was not enough diversity and many of the students tended to be extremely close minded because of that. All in all, the school is great (the parties were on par as well, Ha) and if you are able to take a tour of the buildings you will know exactly why I think so highly of the place.
