Axis partners with Los Angeles area independent schools to create pathways for underrepresented students and families of color to access, navigate, and thrive in private education. We accomplish this by supporting families of color as they navigate the admissions process and the private school system; by placing educators of color in independent schools; and by providing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accountability (DEIA) consulting and accreditation for our Partner Schools.

We are beyond excited to announce that Private School Axis was the recent recipient of a generous grant from BeyGOOD Foundation, the public charity foundation founded by Beyonce Knowles-Carter! BeyGOOD believes that everyone has the right to economic equity, and at Axis, we create pathways to that equity through educational opportunities for students of color. Receiving this grant means that families of color in the Los Angeles area will have the resources and support they need to access, navigate, and thrive in independent schools where unique opportunities emerge for marginalized communities. Join our community of supporters who are uplifting educational equity at a critical time in history for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
