The board members of Ivywood Classical Academy are devoted to the success of the school. They have worked with several collaborating partners to lay the foundation for the school. Central Michigan University is the authorizer, allowing Ivywood the ability to become a tuition-free public school academy in Plymouth. Hillsdale College is the architect of the curriculum and provides training to the Ivywood faculty and staff throughout the school year. The school has also teamed up with Choice Schools Associates which serves as the district office.
“I believe that public education is a cornerstone of any community, and our community lacks an option for students and parents looking for a classical liberal arts education,” says Musgrave. “Ivywood Classical Academy will fill that void and introduce a whole new generation of students to the good, the true and the beautiful. I am honored to be a part of a team that is dedicated and passionate about this mission.”
While the school is located in Plymouth, the school is open to students who are able to get to the school each day. Musgrave says there is no ZIP code requirement for students.
Ivywood Classical Academy is a tuition-free public school academy that will educate students using the virtues-based, content-rich, classical education tradition.
Parents may start dropping students off at 7:50 am. Doors open at 8:00 am, and there are three drop off options:
Option 1: Drop off at 7:50, a staff member will supervise students outside of the building until the door open.
Option 2: Park and walk to the entrance from 8:00 - 8:10. Parents may escort their children to the front or side doors.
Option 3: Utilize the car loop from 7:50 - 8:09
Ivywood utilizes a staggered dismissal. All parents must park and enter through the main entrance. All designated pick-up people must present their ICA identification barcode which will be scanned by an ICA employee prior to gaining entrance to the building. Students are dismissed directly from classrooms.
