Our Mission
We strive to educate individuals who are committed to others and to the environment, and who are capable of actively contributing to the construction of a better world. Within a warm and supportive environment, we encourage our students to value friendship, loyalty and empathy, building strong bonds and a deep sense of belonging that will accompany them throughout their lives.
Rooted in our tradition of excellence, we foster the development of intellectual, emotional and physical tools that enable students to think critically, lead responsibly, and remain lifelong learners, excelling in the area of their interest.
We consider sport, the arts and wellbeing to be essential pillars of holistic development, promoting not only physical growth but also discipline, teamwork and emotional balance.
We believe in the importance of instilling strong values and encouraging commitment and sustained effort as fundamental foundations for personal and professional fulfilment.
Faithful to our commitment to secularism, we promote an inclusive and respectful environment that values a diversity of beliefs and perspectives, and prepares students to be aware, responsible citizens capable of coexisting in a pluralistic society.
Our Vision
To be a leading educational institution, recognised for shaping individuals of integrity, academic excellence, leadership, and a deep commitment to the common good.
At Ivy Thomas, we aim for our students to become responsible, empathetic and creative protagonists, capable of facing future challenges with conviction, a strong ethical compass, and a meaningful connection to the world around them.
NEW CAMPUS
In 2018, Ivy Thomas Memorial School inaugurated a new campus on Camino de los Horneros.
GENERAL MANAGEMENT
Both campuses, Pocitos and Horneros, are governed by the same General Management, thus adhering to a unified educational approach.
Founded in 1959 by Elizabeth Thompson
Ivy Thomas Memorial School is a bilingual and secular school founded by Elizabeth Thompson de Borrás. It began its operations in Pocitos neighbourhood in the year 1959, in memory of Ivy Thomas, Elizabeth’s mother, who had been the owner and principal of Windsor School.
The school's growth meant the need to seek out new spaces. Consequently, in the year 2014, the second building of the Pocitos campus was inaugurated on Pedro Berro Street. These facilities provide all the necessary comforts and equipment for the school’s younger students.
