We’re looking to partner with values-aligned individuals, foundations, and other entities that are excited about bringing a world-class education to low-income families.

Our model is incredibly efficient — $3,500 can provide a full year of K-8 education to a student who otherwise would be stuck in a failing public school. Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what Stella has to say:

We have an ambitious goal: to provide 200 low-income students, like Stella, with full scholarships to attend Primer for the ‘23 - ‘24 school year.

Together we can...

Uncover the next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators.

Bring the gold standard in edu to low-income neighborhoods and create more equity in education.

Create a brighter future for students and families who seek it.

Leverage technology to offer an accessible superior education to millions of kids.
