Learning at Ivy Greene Academy

Nurturing the Whole Child: Mind, Body, and Spirit

At Ivy Greene Academy, we believe that true education goes beyond academics — it’s about cultivating a balanced and fulfilling life. Our approach is rooted in three foundational pillars: Mind, Body, and Spirit. By focusing on these core areas, we aim to develop confident, capable learners who are prepared to thrive in all aspects of life.

Mind: Empowering Independent Thinkers

At Ivy Greene Academy, we challenge learners to think critically, solve problems creatively, and take ownership of their education. Through personalized learning plans, hands-on projects, and real-world challenges, we foster curiosity and intellectual growth. Our learner-driven model encourages exploration, questioning, and resilience — essential skills for success in a rapidly changing world.

  • Personalized learning tailored to individual strengths and interests

  • Hands-on projects and Socratic discussions that inspire deep thinking

  • Emphasis on goal-setting, reflection, and accountability

Body: Building Strength, Endurance, and Confidence

Physical development is key to a balanced life. Our body-focused programs help learners develop strength, coordination, and confidence through structured activities and challenges. Inspired by Greek and Roman traditions of endurance and discipline, we teach learners the value of hard work and perseverance.

  • Physical training and sports programs, including tennis, fencing, and color guard

  • Brain and body endurance challenges designed to build resilience and teamwork

  • Opportunities for outdoor exploration and movement throughout the day

Spirit: Grounded in Faith and Purpose

At the heart of Ivy Greene Academy is a commitment to nurturing the spirit. We provide a Christ-centered learning environment where learners are encouraged to explore their faith, develop strong moral character, and find purpose in serving others. Through daily reflection and opportunities for servant leadership, we guide learners toward a deeper understanding of themselves and their role in the world.

  • Christ-centered approach that fosters moral and spiritual growth

  • Opportunities for prayer, reflection, and service

  • Focus on building a strong sense of purpose and integrity

At Ivy Greene Academy, we are more than just a school — we are a community dedicated to shaping young minds, strengthening bodies, and nurturing hearts. Our balanced approach helps learners become thoughtful leaders, compassionate friends, and confident individuals ready to take on the world.

Learning at Ivy Greene Academy

We believe that learning to be, learning to learn, and learning to do are more important than learning to know.

21st Century Learning

  • The latest in educational technology for self paced mastery of reading, writing and math skills.

  • Hands-on project based quests to master the tools and skills needed to solve problems in the real world.

  • Deep Socratic discussions about heroes, history and self-governance to hone critical thinking skills and the ability to powerfully think, write and speak.

  • Professional tools for art, engineering, tech and storytelling in place of worksheets and busy work.

  • Written promises and covenants that form a tightly bound community of individuals learning to form authentic friendships and honestly resolve interpersonal problems.

Measuring Mastery

Young heroes celebrate the mastery of tools, skills, and character by earning badges and taking part in public exhibitions.

  • Learners use badges to track academic progress in Core Skills like reading, writing, math and spelling and character development in Servant Leader Badges.

  • Young heroes deliver public exhibitions of their work at the end of each four to six week sprint.

  • Self-management and self-governance skills are measured by peer reviews at the end of each session.
