About Ivy Academia Charter School
Ivy Academia is a K-12 charter school designed to address the critical need for innovative educational alternatives for students in the Los Angeles community. It is the goal of Ivy Academia to provide students with a rigorous standards-based program while engaging them in community studies and entrepreneurial education. The culture of the school works – more... to create self-motivated, competent, life-long learners.
Our school’s aim is to educate individuals for the 21st century by enabling our students to think critically, be effective speakers, team players, be productive by prioritizing, effectively using real-world tools and utilizing a higher order of thinking and reasoning. Our students will also understand and internalize the responsibilities of living in a diverse society and the impact of globalization by attending foreign language classes beginning in 1st grade. In addition, Ivy students will become fluent in technological literacy by attending computer classes where they will obtain knowledge of what technology is, how it works, what purposes it can serve, and how it can be used efficiently and effectively to achieve specific goals in our ever-changing society. Our students will also develop in music and art appreciation classes designed to build self confidence.
