Mission Statement

Ivy Research Academy is dedicated to empowering high school students with the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their university applications and thrive in their academic pursuits. Founded by academic economists, our mission is to demystify the fundamentals of econometrics, making this crucial aspect of economics accessible and intuitive for young learners.

We offer small, personalized group courses that help high school and undergraduate students master the art of statistical analysis, data science and causal inference. Going beyond theory, our courses equip students with data analysis skills and include personlized research supervision that enables each student write and publish an empirical research paper. Through our engaging and practical approach, we aim to cultivate critical thinking, analytical skills, and a passion for learning in every student.

Our goal is to prepare students for success in university and beyond, instilling confidence and competence in their academic journey. By bridging the gap between high school education and university demands, we strive to create a foundation for lifelong learning and achievement in the field of economics and related disciplines.
