Primer Microschools - Tampa
Primer is a K–8 school built for kids who love learning—even if they haven’t loved school in the past. (In fact, over 90% of our students say they love coming to school!)
We don't believe that education is one-size-fits-all; instead of teaching kids based on their age or grade level, we assess their true level at the beginning of the school year and place them on Primer’s learning continuum. Whether your student is behind or advanced, Primer's curriculum meets your kid where they're at and encourages accelerated growth. Each student receives daily and weekly goals that ensure they reach subject-matter mastery before moving onto the next level.
Progress is transparent and learning is limitless, so every kid and parent knows where they stand. As a result, we've seen kids learn at a 10% faster rate than traditional schools.
