The CONCEPT is quite simple. As members of our community, we reach out from our hubs to provide services to our community, developing PROJECTS which meet the needs and wants of our customers while supporting our customers in supporting their community. Operating from each customer’s person centered plan, PROJECTS are identified (or created) which will meet the needs and wants of the individual. To encourage team work, the support team will work with the individual in identifying other customers who might be interested in the same PROJECTS and will support that individual in coordinating a team. Within the framework of PROJECTS, on-going training will occur in “real time”.
The Principia is an educational institution for Christian Scientists located on two campuses in the St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area of the United States. Principia School, located in West St. Louis County, serves students from early childhood through high school and Principia College, located about thirty miles away, is on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River in Elsah, Illinois.HistoryFounded by Mary Kimball Morgan, Principia School was officially opened in 1898 in St. Louis. By 1906, Principia had graduated its first high school class and in 1912, the Junior College was added, becoming one of the first such colleges in America. The year 1917 marked the first graduation ceremony of alumni from the Junior College and in 1934 Principia College awarded its first bachelor's degrees. Principia College moved to Elsah, Illinois in 1935 after distinguished architect Bernard Maybeck had been commissioned to design a new campus for Principians there. Prinicpia School later moved to its current location in the St. Louis suburb of Town and Country, Missouri in 1955.
