Our School
Where Big Dreams Begin in Small Classrooms
Primary Hall Preparatory Charter School (PHPCS) is a public, tuition-free charter school serving Buffalo's East Side.
Who We Are
Growing Together to Empower Every Child
We opened our doors in 2021-2022 to Kindergarten and First Grade students. Each year since, we've added a new grade level—growing into a full K-5 school by 2026. Beginning in 2024-2025, we expanded to serve four-year-old Pre-K students through a partnership with Buffalo Public Schools.
At Primary Hall, we take pride in our small-school approach that creates a big impact—offering personalized instruction, a nurturing environment, and the belief that every child can succeed.
