Primer questions, answered
How are microschools different?
Our Microschools focus on small-group, student-centered learning, ensuring that every Primer kid gets the support they need and learns to work collaboratively. Each campus has a unique community where families can feel connected to their child's educational journey.
What is the tuition at Primer?
Primer is committed to making an exceptional education accessible to every family. Our out of pocket tuition operates on a flexible sliding scale, tailored to meet the unique financial situations of every family.
Are there scholarships available?
We provide generous financial support and resources so that an education at Primer is within reach. We'll help you secure state scholarships and have additional scholarships available through The Primer Foundation for families who qualify.
Is Primer right for my family?
The three commitments we make to every family are that we take kids seriously, we make math and literacy are the cornerstones of learning, and we give students the resources, structure, and space to pursue their interests. If these commitments resonate with you, Primer could be right for your family.
