The classical curriculum is time-tested, research-based, and is proven to develop children into thoughtful, caring, educated, freethinking young adults. The curriculum emphasizes an education in the humanities, sciences, and arts, and integrates Spanish and Latin language to promote depth in learning.

Ivywood strives to produce students of high moral character who understand the world and what it means to be a contributing member of society. We place a strong focus on the why behind our lessons, which fosters a love for learning and inspires wonder in our students. Ivywood Classical Academy is a proud Hillsdale College Barney Charter School Initiative (BCSI) Member School.

We are seeking to hire a dedicated Fundraising Campaign Coordinator to help us implement a capital campaign and ensure the longevity of our school. The Campaign Coordinator will report to the school leader and work alongside the fundraising committee to execute the organization's robust vision for growth over the upcoming years.
