Every afternoon at Primer is magic. Students dive deep into their interests through projects. Like starting businesses, writing plays, or learning to code. They’re solving real-world problems before they reach 4th grade.
School works better when students have agency. We give students choices like: "Do you want to be at grade level in math, or do you want to get a grade ahead?" Why? Because agency creates intrinsic motivation, and intrinsic motivation creates lasting academic outcomes.
Wonderful to find Primer on the cover of the Miami New Times this morning.

Education’s power lies in its purpose. The ideal educational realm opens a treasure trove. It lets kids delve into their interests and teaches them to weave these passions into their future. That’s what we’re doing at Primer.
We should be trusting kids with responsibilities early. At home, and at school. Giving them responsibilities gives them a sense of ownership. It shows them we take them seriously. And it helps them develop agency.
Kids sit in classrooms all day and aren’t given agency to set and achieve their own goals. Then when they graduate, we’re upset that they aren’t motivated to do anything. It’s not their fault. It’s the schools’.

i wrote about this before and its an inevitable trend... education companies like @Primer @synthesischool @MentavaInc @learnmoonrise are going to become the world's best talent aggregators. that's incredibly powerful. they'll have the potential to disrupt YC and HR/recruiting…
Things can’t go on like this. Thank goodness for startups. @magicschoolai - an assistant for every teacher + responsible AI for students @MentavaInc - the best way for pre-k kids to gain extraordinary abilities @Primer - k-8 microschools for kids to learn without limits
Small schools are the future. @Primer is a great example what's possible. Excited to be a part of the microschool movement with our work through dexterlearning.com
This student joined Primer in the 5th percentile in math. They'd been given every "label" the traditional system could throw at them: SLD, 12:1 ratio, behavioral interventions, etc. 5 months later: Grew more than 98% of students in the US per MAP (now 27th percentile overall).
Well deserved inclusion for @LookingGlassCap company, @HoneHealth, and angel investment, @Primer, on this list of Exceptional Startups alongside an awesome group of promising companies exceptionalstartups.com/list
@Primer fixes this
pov: it is 2024, you have a child, and for reasons no one entirely understands these are your two alternative schooling options
@Beanie0597 One of the reasons @delk started @Primer was to drive down bullying and anxiety from the school environment. They're creating a remarkable microschool platform that's catching fire in Florida. May be something to look at!
What's a book/movie/show/essay that imagines a future you want to help build? For me, it's @nealstephenson's Diamond Age: - personal & public matter compilers (nanotech) - personalized education (e.g. @Primer) - values-based city states & phyles (e.g. @cityofpraxis) - airships &…
