Priccilia Chan, Mark Zuckerberg's wife to open a different kind of school in California

I'm so proud of Priscilla for starting The Primary
School -- a new kind of school that brings
education and healthcare together.
Health and education are closely connected.
When children aren't healthy, they can't learn as
easily. Many kids and teachers across the country
deal with the consequences of poor health in
classrooms every day.
Priscilla has seen this in her work as a
pediatrician and a teacher, so over the past year
she's been working with our local community to
set up a new type of school in East Palo Alto. In
addition to early childhood and K-12 education,
The Primary School will also provide prenatal
support for families and on-site healthcare for
children. By bringing healthcare and education
together in one place, the goal is to support
families and help children from underserved
communities reach their full potential.
On a personal note, it's inspiring to see Priscilla
grow as an entrepreneur and leader. I'm looking
forward to watching with pride as she develops
The Primary School into a great resource for our
community.
