History
AXIS International Academy and Preschool was founded in 2018 by two local parents who understood the value learning a second (or third) language brings to the life of a child, our community, and our world. They tried other local language learning options, but none met expectations. They were inspired by top-notch international schools they had visited across the world, where students receive an excellent international education through a whole child approach, all while learning a second language through immersion. Many of these schools are private schools, and at $17,000+ per student per year these schools are not an option for most families. They decided all kids deserve an opportunity to receive this type of education, and they set out to create it for their children and their community.
