A nursery through kindergarten school located in the Sanlitun embassy area, Ivy Academy implements a thorough Multiple Intelligences-based curriculum in English which prepares children for both international elementary schools here in Beijing and schools back home. All teachers have extensive experience in early childhood education and hold a certificate in Multiple Intelligences from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Each kindergarten class has a maximum of 16 children with two teachers ensuring that each child receives a unique learning experience in a friendly and creative environment.

The school has a very diverse group of children from different cultural backgrounds (36% come from North America, 30% from Europe and 34% from Asia and Africa) and are described by Stadler's Education Guide to Beijing as a school that has "clearly defined itself as an innovator in early childhood education" managed by an "elite group of educational psychologists and theorists.”
