the next generation Loves Learning at Primer.
"I like this school and in my opinion it’s way better. In other schools there are so many problems with kids being mean and pushing and fighting and also there's no homework. And the academics, how we get to be on the computer and work at our pace and level it’s pretty cool"

Grade 8
“I like the pursuits because they let me do something that I’ve never done. It’s just extremely fun and challenging to do.”
Kryst
Grade 6
“Ms. Taylor is kind, she’s not pushy, she really cares about us. She treats us like we’re one of her own. [...] I love that the pursuits switch. Normally you just cycle through the same 3 things like music and art, but here you have so many options to do and it really helps you with preparing for your future.”
