A Portrait of a Graduate
Our alumni are curious, self-reliant and accomplished. An education at Primary Day fosters lifelong success by endowing our graduates with an inspired academic foundation and the intellectual resourcefulness to actively engage as young learners. Well-prepared, thoughtful and kind, they are courageous risk-takers and compassionate friends. Equipped with a confident resilience, our children are sought after applicants to independent schools throughout greater Washington.
Next School Placement Counseling
Primary Day understands the importance of finding the right school fit for every child.
Our Head of School and Next School Placement Team personally meet with Second Grade parents to help with the transition to Third Grade.
We know each child and the regional school landscape and use that knowledge to help guide each family as they determine the school their child will attend following Primary Day. We provide guidance and information during every stage of the decision-making process.
Primary Day gave me the confidence, knowledge, and organizational skills I needed to succeed.
- Maxwell Fabiszewski, Primary Day Class of 2002
