Mission
We are a nonprofit organization that partners with Los Angeles area's independent schools to create pathways for underrepresented students and families of color to access, navigate, and thrive in private education.
Program accomplishments
- 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. Axissupports students of color and their families as they navigate the private school application process, while connecting them with our established network of partner schools. We've had a 98%+ acceptance rate in independent schools for the past three years.Expenses $450,089 · revenue $12,111
