At Ivybrook Academy Myers Park we believe that learning can and should be a playful adventure. We like to think outside the box and offer our students engaging provocations. Who doesn't love painting with a car or even a school bus? In the words of Fred Donaldson, "Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play, children learn how to learn."

Every child learns differently. Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences is one of the frameworks that shapes our curriculum at Ivybrook Academy.

Some children process the world through movement. Others through music, spatial reasoning, or interpersonal connection. Traditional classrooms tend to favor linguistic and logical-mathematical learners. Our blended curriculum is designed to honor all of them.

In practice, this means a single concept might be explored through building, drawing, group discussion, and hands-on experimentation within the same classroom.

In an Ivybrook classroom metal insets hold significant value as a Montessori material that prepares children for writing, and a tool for developing fine motor skills, hand eye coordination and concentration. They also indirectly prepare children for geometry, and art by fostering creativity, precision, and an understanding of shapes.

At Ivybrook Academy Myers Park we believe the environment is the "third teacher" (The other two include peers and adults). Our environments include thoughtfully designed layouts, natural light, and accessible materials that communicate to children that they are trusted, capable, and independent. The space is not just a passive backdrop, but an active agent that encourages curiosity, focus, and problem-solving.

We're back at it! School started Monday, and our classrooms are buzzing with excitement and wonder! At Ivybrook Academy your little one will participate in hands-on, meaningful experiences, that spark learning and fun! In the words of Loris Malaguzzi, founder of the Reggio Emilia philosophy, "Nothing without joy."
