Academy at Ivy Ridge is a Special Purpose Middle School and High School...
 We offer a variety of courses designed to meet the needs of all our students.
At the Academy at Ivy Ridge, we use a self-paced competency-based curriculum. This allows our students to work at their own level.
Students must demonstrate mastery level understanding (80% or better) of each subject in order to receive credit for the course. One earned credit is equivalent to 45 minutes/ 180 days of course work. The grading scale ranges from A to B-. See below for the corresponding numeric grades.
Most of our curriculum choices (Switched on Schoolhouse) are computer based from Alpha & Omega Publications. For more information, please visit their web site:
