A Little About Us

The Primary School of Austin serves independent children in a communal setting with just the right amount of structure. We believe that every child needs to be a part of their education team and have a vote in their education to foster independence, engagement, and personal responsibility. We have an emphasis on foundational skills in the areas of basic academics, social-emotional awareness, and the arts. Primary School of Austin is an intentional learning community serving children ages 6-11 by offering a supportive space to thrive by empowering them to engage with their interests and the world around them. 

Curriculum

Primary School of Austin prides itself on the foundations of student led learning which allows more autonomy, from what students learn to how the classroom operates. This methodology is recognized around the world as extremely valuable in developing 21st-century skills and many advocate student autonomy and agency must become the norm. We work with your student to find areas of interest so that they are inspired and want to learn. This sets the foundation to build a curriculum that is most effective for each individual learner.

Student Led

Student Led learning establishes a core set of learning experiences that guardians/parents can then expand on and individualize for their children. Due to the smaller class sizes, students are enabled with more hands-on and activity-based learning than traditional schooling.

Mastery Learning

Not all children respond well to traditional online classroom learning. Our children progress at their own pace with the help of technology and mastery based learning. We provide the flexibility to help develop a custom plan to help your child thrive. 

Core Skill Analysis

Project and experiment based activities are designed to encourage the learner to develop their own personal understanding. As guides we offer support while learners work toward their own understanding. We use proven methods and to ensure our learners are meeting milestones for their learning goals.

Academic Calendar

The PSA academic calendar runs September to May with special programming in June, July, and August with our in-house filmmaking program with Squishy Banana Studios.
