About Primer

Primer is a growing network of K–8 schools restoring the timeless foundations of American education. Inspired by the original teaching primers that shaped a nation of readers, thinkers, and builders, our schools begin with what has always worked, and build for what lies ahead. Close-knit learning environments. Skilled educators. A culture that takes kids seriously as learners and leaders.

Primers shaped the first 200 years of American children. Primer will ready them for the next.

About the Role

The Campus Coordinator ensures the campus runs smoothly every day. You are a flexible, steady presence who fills in wherever needed to keep students safe and the day on track. You support operations, family experience, safety, and logistics so Primer Leaders and Studio Guides can focus on teaching. You manage arrival, attendance, lunch, recess, facilities needs, and dismissal while keeping the campus organized, safe, and welcoming. You are the operational heartbeat of the school and a daily partner to the Campus Leader.

Primer is a mission-first company. We believe our mission is the highest-leverage way we can create positive change. In service of that, we keep work centered on mission execution and avoid social or political activism at work that’s unrelated to the mission. If that energizes you, we’d love to see you apply.
