Love and Service to others is at the forefront of what we do.
Our client schools are each a beautifully unique formula of individuals, ideas, and institutions; it’s this combination of factors which form the basis for how we at Atom Theory merge our prevention mindset with the school’s. We want to begin a relationship, and to embrace these qualities to further support health and see real life health outcomes. The three most vital “pillars” of prevention in our eyes are the lives of students, teachers, and faculty.
