About Us

Founded in 2004, Ivy Schools are dedicated to providing premier early childhood education.  Our schools offer the only Multiple Intelligences (MI) program in China officially recognized by the MI Institute, and in addition we are the only early childhood education organization in Asia with the active participation of Harvard Graduate School of Education and founder of MI theory, Professor Howard Gardner as an advisory board member.  Our goal is to develop each child's full potential in a dynamic and supportive environment using current research-based practices.

We offer three different types of kindergarten programs based on the Multiple Intelligences theory to cater to the differing needs of parents and their children: 

 

 
Ivy Academy
is an international program offering an English environment with an unsurpassed focus on the customized development of every child, culminating in the personal Ivy Digital Portfolio
 
Ivy Bilingual School
provides an immersive bilingual program, where both Chinese and Western teachers interact with children throughout the day
 
Ivy MI Kindergarten
offers a high quality Multiple Intelligences based program designed to meet the needs of children entering Chinese elementary schools
