Frequently Asked Questions.

What if my family's financial circumstances change?

We know life happens. We also know the importance of consistency in education and not disrupting your child's day-to-day when other changes take place. If your family's financial circumstances change, let us know, and we will work with you to make sure attending Primer remains possible. Our team is dedicated to collaborating with you, exploring options, and developing a plan that makes Primer's educational experience accessible to your family.

What does Tuition include?

Tuition at Primer covers your child’s full school experience, including instruction, learning materials, technology. The only additional costs are the one-time enrollment fee and uniforms and aftercare (if you need it).

Is there an application fee or deposit to enroll?

There is no cost to apply. However, we require an enrollment fee of $20 to secure your child's enrollment.

How does billing work?

Tuition is paid in 10 monthly installments. A 15% discount is offered for families who pay their full out-of-pocket tuition upfront.

I see that Primer is tuition-free in my state, how is that possible?

We’re proud to offer $0 tuition in Texas! This is made possible by Texas’ generous Education Freedom Accounts (”TEFA”) program. In order to qualify for $0 tuition, families are required to apply for the TEFA program. So long as you apply for the program, you will qualify for $0 tuition at Primer. This means we will honor your $0 tuition even if you are not awarded a TEFA scholarship.
