What if school looked completely different? In this episode of The Advocates Chair, host Neonta Williams sits down with Ryan Delk, CEO and co-founder of Primer, a K–8 micro school network that is opening new schools across Alabama.
Primer’s motto is simple yet powerful: “Take kids seriously.”
Ryan shares how Primer is reimagining education by:
Empowering great teachers to teach without limits
Making private education affordable (many families pay little to nothing)
Designing schools where every child’s unique needs are taken seriously
Opening pathways for parents and community leaders to start their own Primer micro schools
This episode dives deep into what micro schools are, why they’re growing in Alabama, and how families can get involved.
