Private School Axis

About Private School Axis

Axis is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that 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. Independent schools do not accurately represent the overall Los Angeles population, where over 70% of residents are people of color. Through our Axis cohorts, we support students and educators of color as they access private education opportunities with our ongoing guidance.

We also work with Partner Schools across L.A. to make a lasting and transformative impact on their diversity, equity, inclusion, and accountability (DEIA) practices. By holding schools accountable for how they approach and address DEIA, we can achieve better learning outcomes for all students while also preparing them to become multiculturally competent citizens. Our authentic, thorough, and purposeful approach seeks to create a more equal and just schooling experience for all.
