"What is essential is to realize that children learn independently, they learn out of interest and curiosity, not to please or appease the adults in power; and that they ought to be in control of their own learning, deciding for themselves what they want to learn and how they want to learn it."
- John Holt, Author of How Children Learn
At Ivy Greene Academy, we believe that education is about more than just academics — it’s about building character, moral strength, and a sense of purpose. In a world that often prioritizes achievement over integrity, we’ve chosen a different path. Our approach combines academic excellence with Christian values, ensuring that learners not only grow in knowledge but also in faith and moral character.
This foundation of faith strengthens our learners’ confidence, resilience, and sense of purpose — equipping them to lead with integrity and courage in all areas of life.
Faith at Ivy Greene Academy isn’t confined to Bible study — it’s woven into every aspect of the learning experience. We believe that true success stems from understanding one’s purpose and aligning actions with Christian values.
Each day begins with prayer and reflection on scripture. Learners are encouraged to think about how faith applies to their goals, decisions, and relationships.
➡️ Example: A learner struggling with a team conflict reflected on the biblical principle of forgiveness, which led them to approach the situation with empathy and resolve the issue peacefully.
Faith isn’t just about belief — it’s about action. Learners take part in service projects that teach them the value of helping others and working for the good of the community.
➡️ Example: Learners organized a food drive for a local shelter, applying teamwork and leadership while living out the values of generosity and compassion.
At Ivy Greene, learners are encouraged to make decisions based on Christian principles. Guides provide mentorship and scripture-based insights to help learners navigate ethical challenges.
➡️ Example: When a learner faced a tough decision about including a struggling peer in a group project, they reflected on the value of kindness and inclusion — and chose to involve the peer, strengthening the team dynamic.
Facing challenges with courage and perseverance is a core value at Ivy Greene. Learners are taught to lean on faith during difficult moments, using setbacks as opportunities to grow.
➡️ Example: A learner preparing for a challenging presentation turned to prayer and scripture for strength — finding the confidence to deliver a successful speech.
Faith-based education builds more than academic knowledge — it builds moral strength, emotional resilience, and a sense of purpose. At Ivy Greene Academy, learners leave not only prepared for the challenges of life but also rooted in values that will guide them for years to come.
