Program areas at Private School Axis

Independent schools do not accurately represent the overall los angeles population, where more than 70% of residents are people of color. At Axis, it is our mission to change this. We actively promote and sustain cultural diversity in Private schools, and a significant aspect of our program is focused on student placement. Axis supports students of color and their families as they navigate the Private School application process, while connecting them with our established network of partner schools.
