Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Axia project provides enrichment programs to under resourced students. Our enrichment programs are held after school. We offer math tutoring to students who require and/or desire help with homework, test preparation, and test post-review. Our students include ones from special education as well. We also provide a screenwriting and filmmaking class, where students create a script and film it over the school year. Mentors are present to teach other aspects of filmmaking, such as acting, directing, storyboarding, lightning, and sound.
