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.”

Parent of MarQuis
Grade 8

“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.”

Parent of Serenity
Grade 1

“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.”
