Every child deserves
a strong beginning.
Fundamentals-Focused
Our model is inspired by the original primers that shaped early American education, built on truly mastering reading, writing, and math.
Safe, Caring Classrooms
Like a modern one-room schoolhouse, our small campuses and close-knit classrooms ensure every child is seen and supported.
Truly Accessible
We’re making a timeless education possible for every family by leveraging state scholarships and funding to keep tuition accessible.
Timeless Learning, Tailored to Your child.
The Primer learning model is built to accelerate progress and deliver a mastery of the fundamental building blocks of a timeless education.
01
Meeting Them
Where They Are
This is the foundation of everything we do. Because when we take kids seriously, they take themselves seriously too.
03
Excel in Literacy
Primer speaks with the confidence of a 200-year vision—steady, rooted in history, and alive to the future, but never heavy.
02
Individual
Learning Paths
Students move at their own pace, mastering concepts before advancing. Lessons adapt daily, helping kids grow quickly and focus deeply where they need it.
03
Progress
You Can See
Families and students can track growth in real time through weekly goals and daily updates, with formal progress benchmarks three times a year to measure mastery over time.
01
Take Kids Seriously
Primer speaks with the confidence of a 200-year vision—steady, rooted in history, and alive to the future, but never heavy.

Pursuing Independence
Agency is the key. So we empower kids to take on self-directed projects called ‘Pursuits’ that connect learning to life.

Pursue Passions
Primer speaks with the confidence of a 200-year vision—steady, rooted in history, and alive to the future, but never heavy.
the next generation Loves Learning at Primer.
Our experience as a family with Primer has been absolutely stress free. MarQuis enjoys school and finds it nice that everyone knows him so well. His teacher takes the time to personalize and that is important to him.”
Michelle L G
Parent of MarQuis
I love that Primer does the combined classes (i.e. K-2) because it gives children the opportunity to learn from older children as well as exposure to more challenging material.”
Tatiana M
Parent of Serenity
For our family, Primer is the first school that has genuinely felt real- like a true partnership. The communication, the warmth, and the way everything is done with such clear intention has created an environment where my boys can be themselves, feel understood, and with that, they began to thrive.”
