    School Principal - Palo Alto, United States - The Primary School

    Default job background
    Description

    ABOUT US

    The Primary School is creating a new school model that brings together all of the adults in a childs 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. In the long term, we hope to create a game-changing model that can be replicated nationwide. As we continue to learn and grow, we plan to share what weve 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 12 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 childs full needs.

    ABOUT OUR EAST PALO ALTO SITE

    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 400 children and their families through our Early Family Foundations program, parent wellness program, full-day preschool, and elementary/middle school, which will grow through eighth grade. We are still growing and are thrilled to introduce 7th grade for the school year.
