Back to In-person Learning
We are excited to welcome every student who wants to return to in-person learning back to campus in East Palo Alto! Hear from one of our teachers and his students to see what in-person learning is like.
Who We Are
We are creating a new school model that fundamentally reimagines how to support the life trajectory of children most impacted by systemic poverty and racism. Our comprehensive model brings together all of the adults in a child’s life, including parents, educators, and medical and mental health providers, starting from a very early age.
This multidisciplinary approach helps close the achievement gap, ensuring that children and families receive the support they deserve to be well, learn, and thrive.
2019-2020 Annual Report
We share some of the ways that we pivoted last year to support children and families with remote programming during this unusual time.
Our Approach
WE START EARLY
We start working with children as young as 8 months and provide full-time school starting at age three to reach them at a critical stage in development.
WE PARTNER WITH PARENTS
We believe that when parents thrive, children thrive, so we support the wellness and growth of parents alongside the growth of their children.
We integrate services
Our unique model unites health, education, and family support, building a multi-disciplinary team and holistic system of care to address a child’s full set of needs.
Join Our Team
We’re looking for other collaborative, passionate people to join us on an exciting journey to build a game-changing new school model!

Our dedicated team at The Primary School has worked closely with medical experts, public health officials and partners at the district and county level to develop the strongest and safest policies possible.
