Primer is a growing network of K–8 schools restoring the timeless foundations of American education. Inspired by the original teaching primers that shaped a nation of readers, thinkers, and builders, our schools begin with what has always worked, and build for what lies ahead. Close-knit learning environments. Skilled educators. A culture that takes kids seriously as learners and leaders.
Primers shaped the first 200 years of American children. Primer will ready them for the next.

Primer is a mission-first company. We believe our mission is the highest-leverage way we can create positive change. In service of that, we keep work centered on mission execution and avoid social or political activism at work that’s unrelated to the mission. If that energizes you, we’d love to see you apply.
Our goal is simple: free the next generation of kids to be more ambitious, more creative, and to think for themselves. To do that, we're creating a new education system, centered around microschools.
We started Primer because standard schools can’t possibly make space for every kid’s curiosities. But a small school connected to a big network can. When you enroll in a Primer Microschool, you step into a whole world of ideas and projects, questions and conversations. You’ll meet new friends who share your interests and work together on challenges or in classes to sharpen your skills. Our goal with Primer isn’t to teach you everything under the sun—it’s actually the opposite. We want you to go deep on whatever it is that drives you. Because we think passion is the surest path to learning. And the world could use more of it.
