Business Description
Ivy League School takes pride in providing its students the best academic care. Our programs are successful in providing students with supplemental academic care that caters to their specific needs. Students in our PSAT and SAT programs report aggregate score increases of 300 points, while students who attend the After School Math & English Program get to benefit from higher grades in school. Improvements are seen on every scale, no matter how big or small.
Mission Statement
Our philosophy is to have students achieve their potential through patience and hard work, guided by dedicated parents, teachers, and staff. We strive to prepare students for academic challenges that lie ahead by having them learn not only from textbooks, but through fun, hands-on experience.
Our dedication in guiding each and every one of our students to achieve academic excellence epitomizes our philosophy that every child deserves an opportunity to succeed. Our friendly and knowledgeable faculty members are specifically trained to identify each students academic strengths/weaknesses and help each student accordingly. Most importantly, Ivy League School guarantees a small personal classroom setting to allow every student the attention they deserve.
Here at Ivy League School, we understand the importance of securing a concrete foundation for a child's future. Our commitment to challenging our students to reach their fullest potentials has proven results. We are eager to continue our schools tradition of giving rise to numerous young individuals who share a bright and promising future ahead, which all began with a solid Ivy League School education.
Ivy League School, established in 1990, is a well known SAT-Prep/after-school academic enrichment/tutoring center within the Southern California community. We currently have seven locations ranging from Southern California (San Diego) to the Greater Los Angeles area (Arcadia, Rowland Heights, Temple City). Our Torrance branch is one of the most extensive - it houses a significant number of programs, such as our Summer Smart Camp, After-School Program, PSAT/SAT program, and Chinese/TOEFL/ESL classes.
1) After-school Program (fall And Spring)
Ivy’s After-School Program encompasses the same ideals represented in our summer program.
We offer a pick-up service for most of the schools in the greater Torrance and Palos Verdes areas for a fee. As such, parents don’t have to worry about dropping their children off at our facility.
The After-School Program is open from Monday to Friday from 3:30 to 6:30 P.M. A similar alternating curriculum of English and writing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and Math on Tuesdays and Thursdays is used.
Students in the program get a chance to not only receive help with the school homework they are assigned, but their learning is supplemented with the classes taught at Ivy. The program is the perfect place for their child to be if they have bad procrastination habits, need extra help, or require a studious, academic environment to help them excel with their schoolwork.
If a student requires even more supplemental help, Ivy can also arrange one-on-one tutoring regarding most, if not all, subjects. One-on-one tutoring is great for students who require personal help with subjects they constantly struggle with.
Our small class sizes and close student-teacher interaction ensure that students who are struggling with their studies are given enough supplemental help. Ivy takes pride in offering one of the most extensive after-school programs currently offered!

2) Psat/sat Program & Ap/subject Test
PSAT/SAT Program
One of the primary goals of Ivy League School is to cater to the needs of high school students who need to take the SAT. The SAT is a standardized test that is used by colleges to place students for admission. A great SAT score goes a long way in establishing the student’s credibility and providing colleges with a way to gauge the student’s academic strength and eligibility for the specific college.
Ivy offers dedicated guidance to help our students realize dreams of being accepted into prestigious colleges and universities from Ivy League Universities to the universities of California. Over the past two decades, 96% of our students have been accepted into UCs, with 60% acceptance into UCLA, UC Berkeley, and other Ivy League Universities.
PSAT: the PSAT program allows students to experience the general academic requirements of the SAT without being too committed regarding time and finances. Individual tests are given every week alternating between English and Math, with the teachers covering the test material after each successive test date. This program is a great way for younger students to try SAT-level questions and gauge their prowess when it comes to preparation for the SAT.
SAT: Ivy’s SAT program is one of the most comprehensive ones offered by anyone in the Southbay area. Our SAT curriculum encompasses all four subjects tested by the actual SAT itself: Math, Writing, Reading and Comprehension, and Grammar. The program meets twice a week, on Fridays and Saturdays—with Friday including math tuition, and Saturday comprising of the English tuition and the full (three and a half hours long) SAT mock-test. Students are thoroughly tested on the material necessary to obtain a competitive SAT score. Most who take it enjoy an aggregate of a 300-point increase after completing the program.

AP/Subject Testing
"Advanced Placement" (AP) is a program of college-level courses offered at many high schools. Courses are available in many subject areas, including English, history, humanities, languages, math, psychology and science.
It's time to start thinking about which AP courses grab your interest, and how they might start you on the right path to college and career success. This program prepares students for the AP Examinations that are administered each year in May and represent the culmination of college-level work in a given discipline in a secondary school setting. Rigorously developed by committees of college and AP high school faculty, the AP Exams test students' ability to perform at a college level.
3) Summer Smart Camp
Ivy League School's Summer SMART Camp is a great opportunity for students to stay engaged and get a head start on the upcoming school year. Ivy conducts a 10-week program that provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the following subjects:

We have had the pleasure of having hundreds of international students visit our location within the past 20 years, whether they are in America for just a visit or decide to continue their education stateside.
Ivy employs accredited teachers who have years of experience teaching ESL students and working with the TOEFL curriculum. Our teachers are well-versed with serving the needs of international students who wanted to be admitted into an American college and need to pass the TOEFL.
Ivy is able to supplement international students with an education that aides them in both written and spoken English, allowing them to not only learn a new language, but apply themselves if they wish to be working professionals in the United States.
Book Camp
In this workshop, students acquire necessary critical reading skills and the ability to transform their ideas about literature into outstanding book reports. Students also learn valuable oral presentation skills and techniques on how to create their own books.
5) Language Program & Stem Electives
Chinese Program
Ivy offers a comprehensive Chinese school program in both Simplified and Traditional formats. Students are placed according to their skill level in written and spoken Mandarin Chinese.
Beginning Chinese (1-3) introduces either the Pinyin transcription system or the Zhuyin phonetic symbol system. Students will learn basic vocabulary, including the names of foods, family members, time, dates, and animals.

I heard about this place for a very long time. Until this year, I finally decided to put my kids in IVY summer smart camp. I was amazed at the number of students that studied during the summer, and surprisingly, my kids actually enjoy learning here! The good thing about this camp is that they have both academic and fun recreational activities, which is an excellent balance to an ideal summer. It's funny, because I reunited with my college roommate here, who I haven't seen in 20 years. What a small world!

My daughter is a fifth grader. She took Math Olympiad last summer at Ivy, and she won a Math Olympiad competition, receiving first place this year. I am really proud of her, and I want her to continue studying at Ivy. She found her passion in math, and we are looking forward to having another phenomenal summer.

I took the new SAT class here at Ivy. I took the old SAT in January and didn't get a nice score. After giving it another shot, I improved significantly for the new SAT (1570!). I loved the class in Ivy, as I did the practice tests they gave me every week. I think it was a great decision to come here because I am proud of my score. This place is great for SAT! Work hard, study hard!

This year in IVY I had an amazing summer break. Summer school may not sound fun, but in IVY it makes it fun. We meet new friends, play games, watch movies, go on field trips do arts and crafts, and so much more fun activities. Also, IVY has great food and drinks to eat and drink, especially Friday which is pizza day (my favorite)! This year is my first time at IVY and I think IVY is actually my favorite summer school of all time. One thing I really like about IVY is that IVY prepares you for the next grade level you are going into. Now I do not have to be worried about being behind in class since IVY has prepared for the next level. I have actually had an amazing summer break. I love IVY!!! I also hope I will return to IVY next year.

Hi! My name is Byron HU. A student from Ivy league school during summer. Here I am talking about the experience that I have in Ivy. My situation is kind of special. I was born in Los Angeles and I live there until when I was six years old. Then I went to Shanghai to learn Chinese for eight years. After I done learning Chinese I went back to America for High school. Here is the special situation. During eight years in Shanghai I didn't learn English that much. So it makes me very hard to catch up with kids that live in America. But Ivy helped me a lot. Everyone is nice and willing help many student like me. The teachers teach me many English skills. Such as Grammar, reading comprehension, sentence fluency and sentence structure. After a few weeks in ivy, I can feel that my English skill has improve a lot. My PSAT score increase from 54% up to 82%. I am very happy about it. But the most thing that impress me is I got to in English I in high school. That means I can have class with many native American speakers and also I can have a better environment to learn. As a conclusion, if I am your child's parents . I will definitely send my children to ivy.

My wife and I discovered Ivy after our son brought in his first quarter report card during 8th grade. It was his first time tackling Algebra I and his lack of dedication and our negligence was represented in the "C" grade he received. The decision to give him further tutoring was a no-brainer, but it was the method of tuition that confused us. At-home tutoring was far too risky and good tutors were difficult to find. It was after a few tries of the aforementioned tutoring method that we decided to try Ivy League School, specifically their Torrance branch. Although the school's location is not the closest to our residence, they provide a pick-up service from school that allows working parents like myself to forego the hustle and bustle of after-school traffic. However, it is the care and attentiveness provided by Ivy's staff that really resonated with me and my wife. Our son's grades went up: his C's turned into B's and then A's within a span of an 8 week period, thanks to the supplemental Algebra I class and Ivy teachers like Mr. Gary. Our son also had a chance to make new friends at this facility and has kept a close friendship with most of them, which is something I did not expect from an after-school program. The staff were the true heroes when it came to giving my son what he needed. He would consistently tell me about the challenging quizzes and how the teachers helped him solve problems with ingenuity and resourcefulness. Math was his least favorite subject before he enrolled, but soon after, it became one he thoroughly enjoyed. If you're looking for a tutoring facility with caring staff, excellent teachers, and a great environment, then Ivy League School definitely delivers on all fronts.

I was struggling with Spanish at school and hardly maintained a "B". I've tried other tutoring places but they were pretty confusing. A friend told me about Ivy, so I came and checked out their individual tutoring service. I was blown away how well the tutor helped me grasp this subject for the first time. It's a beautiful thing when you can smile when conjugating infinitives in Spanish. Eventually, my grade went up to an "A"! I was astonished how much I could achieve and my Spanish tutor, Ms. Mar, helped me realize what I was doing wrong. I definitely give this place 5 stars and I recommend their tutoring service to whoever needs that little push to fill in for what's lacking.
