Axiom Learning was founded in 2009 by Shahzad Bhatti and Dr. Aisha Simon, who are Harvard alumni. The leadership team reports bringing Ivy League academic rigor combined with real-world classroom experience, and the program was founded by Harvard alumni. All instructors hail from top universities, and fewer than 1 in 200 applicants to Axiom Learning are hired. Axiom Learning states that its mission is to help every learner thrive, not just get by, and to provide school districts with research-backed tools that address the root causes of learning challenges rather than just the symptoms.

The program offers 1-on-1 instruction with customized learning plans for each student, using thorough diagnostic tools to create personalized instructional strategies. According to the program’s reported data, students with learning differences make 4.9 years of progress within the first 50 hours of LEAP 3.0, and students see score increases over 3 times the industry average on test prep. The LEAP Assessment is described as identifying executive functioning gaps in 5–10 minutes with instant, actionable reports and no specialist required. The EF Curriculum consists of no-prep, scripted lessons implemented 15 minutes per week, and the Skills for Life program is designed for middle and high school and is described as complementing existing SEL and aligning with MTSS Tier 1 and 2. Professional development is rated 9/10 by participating educators and is available in flexible formats, including 1-hour to multi-day sessions that can be in-person, virtual, or on-demand, with additional family engagement workshops and custom implementation support.

Axiom Learning reports that its tools are used in over 500 schools across 47 states and on multiple continents. The organization cites over 200,000 hours of research and development and a multi-year Gates Foundation funded research pilot. In that pilot context, the program reports 5x math percentile growth, 2x reading percentile growth, a 30% reduction in behavioral referrals, and a 0% dropout rate. The program is also described as Gates Foundation funded and recognized or partnered with multiple organizations listed under Partnered With, Featured In, and Recognized By.

Parent and student testimonials describe customized programs that kept a 15-year-old student engaged over the summer and into the school year, with reported increases in confidence, motivation, self-awareness, academic performance, focus, and grades (Terri D.). Another parent reports that Axiom Learning provided academic and executive function support for a 14-year-old son and describes the team as educated about learning differences, progressive and creative, flexible with scheduling, and comprehensive in its approach (Julie F.). One student states, “I couldn’t have gotten into Harvard without Axiom!” (Alex K., Harvard c/o 2018), and another thanks Axiom Learning for support with SAT scores, essays, and college applications (Marn Yee T.). A parent reports that after a thorough assessment, Axiom Learning used practice and simple strategies, such as manipulatives, to support a middle-schooler’s focus and executive functioning, with vastly improved grades and greater enjoyment of school (Deb C.). Another parent notes a 300+ point increase in SAT scores after six weeks of twice-weekly sessions (Tracy A.). Additional testimonials describe staff who are “very nice,” individualized prep for SAT, SAT Math 2, and SAT Chemistry (Dante M.), effective SAT and ACT prep with 2-hour sessions and tools to build confidence and cognitive speed (Mimi E.), and instruction that improved studying habits, learning methods, and organizational skills for a high school senior (Catherine W.). A parent of a 7-year-old and 11-year-old reports that programs and treatments are scientifically supported and that staff interact with children with care, compassion, playfulness, and fun (April B.). Another parent reports that Axiom Learning focused on underlying skills such as time management, working memory, and planning, and that their son entered high school with a strong foundation of executive function and academic skills and greater ownership and accountability for his work (Jean H.).
