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.
Studio Guides are essential partners in creating a joyful, safe, and well-run learning environment at Primer. You work closely with the Primer Leader (the lead teacher) to support students academically, emotionally, and socially throughout the school day.
