Welcome

Ivy Academy is a tuition-free public charter high school serving grades 9-12. It is one of the first charter schools to open in Hamilton County, Tennessee, and opened in Fall of 2009 with 60 students. Each year, 60-80 students will be added until all four high school grade levels are filled. The total number of students attending the school at any given time will not exceed 320 thus allowing for intense personalized education and minimized impact on the natural surroundings. 

Designed by teachers who themselves are life-long students, Ivy Academy is open to all rising ninth-, tenth-, and eleventh-graders elligible to attend Hamilton County public schools.  Ivy Academy is an academically-challenging school for students who may be:

• restricted by structural and schedule constraints in a traditional school;
• frustrated by lessons that do not adequately address different learning styles;
• voracious learners and lack a sufficient challenge to spark their interests.
