Microschool Leaders

We believe every child deserves an education that cultivates their unique sense of self.

Thriving in a complex world requires creativity and original thinking, yet our education system is designed for mass production—not individuality. We won’t be able to solve 2050’s challenges with an educational supply chain built for the 1950s.

We need a new system...

Clients being matched to customer profiles

one where we value what kids learn both inside and outside the classroom

one where they learn how to solve real problems, not to pass tests

one where kids learn how to think, instead of what to think.

Taking kids seriously is serious business

Primer delivers a learning experience that empowers kids to discover new paths for themselves they never knew existed.

Our Microschools are student-centered communities where kids master skills, explore their passions, and learn from dedicated educators.

An innovative approach
to learning

Agency

We empower students to take an active role in their education, with opportunities to make their own choices and pursue their passions.

Partnership

We prioritize open communication, transparency and collaboration, making sure Primer parents always have an active role in their child's success.

Disruption

Education as we know it isn’t serving most of our kids, and the next generation deserves better. We are challenging the status quo to reimagine what school can be.

Personalization

Every child is unique, but few schools deliver a truly personalized experience. Our innovative technology and tailored curriculum ensure every child can make the most of their own potential.

Student Success

Primer kids build the knowledge and skills to become independent learners and excel on their own terms. Every student leaves Primer with competitive transcripts ready to tackle the next step in their education.

Passion

When you love what you do, anything is possible. We believe that all kids should be given the resources to express their authentic selves and explore their passions - whatever they may be.
