Job Summary

ABOUT US The Primary School is creating a new school model that 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. We recognize the entrenched racism that exists within our public systems and the unjust impact this has had on families of color.

Our aim is that children and families most impacted by systemic poverty and racism receive the multidisciplinary support they deserve to be well, learn, and thrive. Long-term, we hope to create a game-changing school model that can be replicated across the country. As we continue to learn and grow, we plan to share what we've learned and pursue policy and systems change on a local, state, and national level.

We are supported by a growing coalition of philanthropic partners, building on the generous support of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Our approach has three defining characteristics: We start early.

We start working with children as young as 18 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 care and education, building a multi-disciplinary team and holistic system of care around a child's full needs. In 2016, we opened our flagship school in East Palo Alto, California, with our first class of four year olds.

We have grown to serve over 300 children and their families through a birth to three program, parent wellness program, full-day preschool, and elementary school, which will grow through eighth grade. In 2021, we opened our second site in the East Bay. ABOUT OUR EAST PALO ALTO SITE We are continuing to grow our East Palo Alto site and are excited to launch 5th grade for our 2022-2023 school year.
