“But like ivy, we grow where there is room for us” - Miranda July
Established in 1954 at the NCAA Athletic Conference, the official Ivy League is a group of the eight most prestigious universities in the country:
Brown University
Columbia University
Cornell University
Dartmouth College
Harvard University
Princeton University
University of Pennsylvania
Yale University
The name “Ivy” was given to the league due to their ivied walls. Over time, the Ivy League became a symbol of academic excellence and elite social standing that thousands of students hope to achieve one day. We acknowledge that the connotation of “academic excellence” has changed with time, especially in the context of the Ivy League. We call ourselves Ivy League School because we hope our students are specifically inspired by the Ivy League’s holistic approach to education, which emphasizes collaboration and determination. We believe in each student’s potential to perform at the Ivy League standard of a successful education, which is comprised by our three pillars:
Academic Excellence
Ivy’s students master their learning material. Students learn how to successfully apply concepts to relevant fields of work.
Mental Well-Being
Ivy’s students learn to manage healthy levels of stress appropriately. Students enjoy the learning process and learn how to maintain positive relationships with their peers and teachers.
Moral Virtue
Ivy Education values authenticity and kindness in their students and draws out these qualities by providing a safe space for them to be the best versions of themselves. Students empathize with others and demonstrate social awareness.
The three pillars that make up the Ivy standard of a successful education reflect our values and uphold our mission to draw out the best performance from our students. By planting in our students healthy morals, a love for learning, and a tight grasp on their material, Ivy aims to maximize the students’ potential to become promising, successful individuals.
