Love and Service to others is at the forefront of what we do.
Each of our client-schools are a beautifully, unique formula of individuals, with creative ideas, and varied experiences; it’s this combination of factors that form the basis for how Atom Theory merges our prevention mindset with the school’s philosophy. We want to begin a thriving relationship with you, and embrace our qualities together, in order to further support success for your students and experience real-life health outcomes. From our perspective, the core of prevention is rooted in students, faculty and parents.
