The Primary Day School, a demonstration school for the Phonovisual Method is a diverse, coeducational, independent school for children in Pre-Kindergarten through Second Grade. The school's warm and supportive atmosphere encourages the development of students intellectually, morally, physically and emotionally, according to each child's gifts and talents.

Early school years should be happy ones, as these first educational experiences are the foundation for positive attitudes toward learning. The key to academic success is to provide an environment where children are happy and comfortable.

At Primary Day learning is a joyful and active process which recognizes and respects each child’s individuality. We encourage independent thinking, intellectual curiosity and creative self-expression.
