Testimonials
What they say about us
Public Programs
While our students are back to focusing on learning, credit is due to the district’s ongoing commitment to testing and responding proactively to the data with the measures and care our educators and health experts have at their disposal. Testing contributed to where we are today: a reduction of in-school transmission to almost zero.

The Primary family has made me feel at home from the day I interviewed. My managers help me strive for excellence and gave me the opportunity to hone my skills as a software engineer. You can reach out to anyone on the team if you’re blocked and they’ll be more than happy to guide you in the right direction. Every person at Primary is down to earth and in the business of making a difference!

I’ve always been about seats at the table and the importance of representation where brainstorming sessions and decisions happen. And it’s not only about physical diversity for decisions, but it’s also about inclusion with neurodiversity and realizing our strength in democratizing knowledge. It’s rare to be part of a company culture where there’s so much inherent trust with each other to do the right thing and make the best decisions that help everyone.
