After-School Program
Ivy's after-school program is built around one idea: no student should fall behind when the right support is available. From the moment your child arrives, they're in a structured, nurturing environment that takes care of homework first — and then takes their learning further.
Every afternoon includes daily homework support, subject-based enrichment classes in Math and English, and rotating STEM elective courses that expose students to subjects most schools simply don't have time for. We also offer school pickup so your afternoons stay stress-free.
Our competition math track prepares students for AMC and MOEMS — and our teams consistently place in the national top 10%. But the real reward isn't the ranking. It's the way Math Olympiad rewires how students approach hard problems, in math and in everything else.
The difference between a student who gets by in English and one who excels in Honors and AP isn't talent — it's strategy. Our Reading & Writing elective teaches students exactly how to analyze a text, structure an argument, and write with precision and confidence.
Speed, accuracy, and number fluency. The foundation that makes everything else click faster and feel easier.
Hands-on science and engineering challenges that bring classroom concepts to life — and build the kind of curiosity that no standardized test can measure, but every great college will notice.
Simplified Chinese for beginners through intermediate learners — reading, writing, conversational Mandarin, and character recognition. In an increasingly connected world, bilingualism isn't just a skill. It's an advantage that compounds over a lifetime.
Subject-Based Classes
Our after-school enrichment classes go beyond what students cover in day school. Whether your child needs support catching up or is ready to be pushed further, we have a class calibrated to exactly where they are.
Math
Math at Ivy follows Common Core standards as the foundation — but we don't stop there. Students who are ready are enrolled in our Math Olympiad track, where they develop advanced problem-solving skills and compete nationally in the AMC (American Mathematics Competition) and MOEMS (Math Olympiad Elementary and Middle School). We also offer Mental Math and Math Strategy courses for students who need to sharpen their fundamentals. Every level is taught with rigor and patience — because confidence in math changes everything.
