Hear From Our School Partners

“What I learned is that everyone can try hard and can succeed.”

“I learned to never give up.”

Students at Carver Middle School

“I appreciate that the lessons/resources are created for me. This saves me so much time in lesson planning and then I can focus on internalizing the lesson/thinking about how to present the material to my students, rather than also creating the lesson materials. I love that there is science/psychology behind the Axiom principles.”

Teacher Using Axiom's EF Curriculum

“I am so grateful for your presence on our team this year. I definitely saw the benefit you provided for students who attended your workshops and the students you were able to support during my English block. I hope we can continue to build this partnership with Axiom next year, the services you provide were incredibly helpful for our students!”

10th Grade English Teacher, Tamalpais HS

“This was the best 9th grade class they have ever had.”

“Whatever it is you did … we want it for all of our other students!”

“The improvement and enhanced focus of the intervention group impacted our entire ecosystem.”

Administrators at Summit Public Schools in California

“I appreciate the accessibility of the curriculum and the importance of having that in the students’ learning. For me, executive functioning should be taught to all, not limiting it to those with EF goal. I love the curriculum!”
