Welcome to our Virtual Learning Environment

Welcome to the Principal's Scholars Program (PSP), a virtual learning environment! The Principal’s Scholars Program (PSP) is a University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign math and science initiative designed to prepare underrepresented students for college. 

Right now, we are developing modifications to our programmatic structure to adapt to the changing conditions sparked by the onset of this “qualifying emergency” – these modifications will remain in place throughout the calendar year. Our goal is to accommodate the shifting and impending academic needs of PSP students, families, and school personnel. 

The PSP Virtual Website will offer tools, resources, and educational websites for the 6th-12th grade that students, parents, and school personnel can offer as activities during the COVID-19 school closures.  Always continue to check our Virtual Learning Environment. Information will be updated frequently.

The Principal's Scholars Program invites and encourages all 6-12 grade students residing in the State of Illinois to participate in the PSP Virtual Learning Environment.  PSP looks forward to working with interested students!

Welcome to summer 2023!

Principal's Scholars will be hosting several Summer workshops for students in grades 6-12 and parents through our Summer Enrichment 2023 Virtual Academy.  The hands-on and interactive workshops will build student competencies in STEM education and college preparation.  

PSP will also be providing workshops and activities to Families.  The activities are listed on the Elementary/Middle School and High School Summer 2023 pages.

A listing of the workshops/activities can be found below.  Check back regularly because new classes will be added.

This summer, our workshops are IN PERSON and VIRTUAL.  Most importantly, they are FREE!  Due to the popularity of our workshops, spots usually fill quickly. 

Registration is open NOW!
