The closure of two schools founded by Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan has left the inner city families they were designed to help questioning how their children will achieve an education.
The New York Times reports that in a surprise announcement this week, The Primary School, a tuition-free educational institution founded by Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, revealed that it would be closing its doors in the summer of 2026. The school, located in East Palo Alto, California, was established in 2016 with the mission of serving children from low-income families by providing them with access to education, health care, and social workers under one roof.
The Primary School, along with its sister campus in San Leandro, California, was one of the first beneficiaries of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a philanthropic organization founded by the couple 10 years ago, which became infamous for its election meddling. The initiative provided approximately $100 million in grants to the school and related groups from 2018 to 2024. The schools were expected to eventually serve students from toddlers through eighth grade, with the 2025-26 school year marking the first time the Primary School would offer eighth grade.
