A quick overview of who we are:

The Primary Day School is a diverse, coeducational, independent school for children in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 2. These are the four most crucial learning years of their lives, a time when they are ready for quantum leaps of development.  At Primary Day, everything we do focuses on helping young children flourish both academically and emotionally during this vitally important time of life.

The Primary Day curriculum is designed specifically to engage young learners. Children gain essential building blocks in reading, writing, Phonovisual, mathematics, STEM, Spanish, social studies, physical education, music, library and art, creating a firm foundation for ongoing school success and continued personal growth. Primary Day provides enrichment after-care options for families.

Individual tours, admission coffees and parent interviews with our Head of School are offered during the school day and an evening Open House is hosted in November. We also invite you to join our popular STEM Event, scheduled in February.
