Learning preserved3 moments
Over a year, parent-reviewed moments can support subject-level transcript records and portfolio evidence when enrollment and official issuance open. You decide what belongs in the record.
Records that travel
What enrollment includes
Everything has one job: make learning count.
When enrollment opens, your child will be enrolled. Everything below will grow from one parent-owned record. Enrollment and official school records are currently in private testing.
An official transcript for each academic cycle
Planned for launch: subjects, parent-entered grades, and attendance organized from your child’s real learning.
A Showcase Portfolio
Planned for launch: your child’s work, projects, photos, and own words in a record that shows who they are.
Capture in seconds with IvyTracks
Log a sentence or photo while the learning is still fresh, with optional dictation when typing is inconvenient.
Your complete record in Parent Portal
See moments, milestone coverage, attendance, parent-entered grades, and everything ready for the transcript together.
Ivy Waters International Standards
Our own Pre-K through Grade 8 framework makes everyday evidence understandable without prescribing a curriculum.
Crossing borders?
Keep a clear enrollment record ready to present when someone asks about school.
Might return to school someday?
A coherent transcript gives placement conversations a documented starting point. The receiving school makes the final decision.
A child who learns differently?
Subjects can move at different paces without forcing the whole child into one grade-level timeline.
Our published standards
A school with standards of its own.
The Ivy Waters International Standards are ours: written, published, and citable. Ages 3–14 · 138 standards across 10 stages, anchored to ages rather than to any one country’s school system, so a family that moves keeps a record that still means something.
Permanent identifiers
Every standard has its own address that never changes, so a reviewer, a tutor, or a future school can look up the exact thing your child met.
Met in everyday life
Each one is written to you, not to a committee, and paired with what it looks like in a real afternoon: market arithmetic, a tide pool, a letter to a grandparent.
Open to read and cite
Downloadable Benchmark Guides for families, and a machine-readable release schools, registrars, and tools can map their own records against.
The Live-Log-Align Method
A keepsake that happens to be a transcript.
Real learning should not disappear because it happened away from a worksheet. Ivy Waters turns the moments your family already values into evidence you can revisit, understand, and use.
- 01
Live.
Learn your way: at the kitchen table, in a museum, at a market, or halfway around the world.
- 02
Log.
Capture the moment in about ten seconds with a line of text, a photo, or dictated text.
- 03
Align.
Ivy Waters suggests the milestone; you decide whether it belongs. Or keep the moment with no benchmark at all. The learning still counts.
One vibrant afternoon
“We halved the recipe at the market.”
Evidence
A parent note, optional photo, place, and date.
Alignment
Fractional parts of a whole, preserved in the learning journey.
See it kept
One vibrant afternoon, typeset into a record.
Tell us your child’s first name and one true thing they did today. We’ll typeset a keepsake record page with a date and seal in about ten seconds. No account needed to look.

Records built to be checked
Warm enough to keep. Clear enough to check.
The day someone asks you to prove the year, you should not have to argue for it. The family story and the formal record share one source but never blur together: keepsakes are visibly samples, and issued documents follow a separate records-office path.
- Precise claims
- Nothing in your child’s file overstates what it is, so nothing gets waved away. The enrollment letter confirms enrollment. The transcript carries the academic history. A registrar reading either one knows exactly what they are holding.
- Traceable evidence
- Every attendance day, grade, and subject entry traces back to a moment you logged and approved. Asked where a number came from, you can show the afternoon it came from.
- Verification first
- A reviewer can confirm the record without phoning you. Issued documents carry stable references, and a verification address is printed only once the record it points to is live.
Enrollment and official issuance remain in private testing.
IvyTracks
Where learning enters.
Capture a sentence or photo in about ten seconds, with optional dictation into editable text. Alignment helps connect the moment to real milestones, while your original evidence always remains the source.
Parent Portal
Where your family keeps it.
Return to your child’s full learning story: moments, milestone coverage, attendance, parent-entered grades, reports, and portfolio-ready evidence, all built from the same moments.
“Learning was everywhere. The record wasn’t.”
Why one homeschooling family built Ivy Waters.
Read our storyThe part you’ll keep
Years from now, this is the part you’ll return to.
When official records open, the transcript will answer the formal questions. The record underneath it already holds the real treasure: their voice explaining tide pools, the market-day arithmetic, and the year of questions. It is a family archive designed to support a clear school record without replacing the moments that made it.

Frequently asked questions
Who is Ivy Waters International for?▼
Ivy Waters serves homeschool, expat, and worldschooling families with children ages 3 to 14, from Pre-K to Grade 8. Parents remain in control of how, when, and where learning happens.
What will enrollment include?▼
Enrollment is planned to include an official enrollment letter from day one, an official transcript each academic cycle, and a Showcase Portfolio of your child’s real work. It also includes IvyTracks capture, your Parent Portal, and the Ivy Waters International Standards. We’ll confirm the final deliverable list when enrollment opens, and we only promise what’s operating and approved.
Is Ivy Waters a real school?▼
Ivy Waters International is building a private school for Pre-K to Grade 8 and is currently in private testing. Our educational work stands on the independent Ivy Waters International Standards and parent-approved evidence. We are not accredited and do not issue high school diplomas. Enrollment, enrollment letters, and official school records are coming soon and are not yet available through the private-testing experience.
Who grades my child?▼
Parents remain responsible for observing and assessing their child’s learning. Ivy Waters helps organize parent-approved evidence, attendance, and parent-entered assessments into a coherent school record. We do not silently invent grades from app activity or AI suggestions.
Do I have to change curriculum?▼
No. Use the curriculum, tutors, resources, and real-life experiences that suit your child. The Ivy Waters International Standards provide a consistent record reference around your approach without prescribing a route or pace.
Can I explore Ivy Waters during private testing?▼
Yes. Try capturing a learning moment while enrollment remains in private testing. This is not temporary school enrollment and there is no automatic conversion. When enrollment opens, the planned price is 279 USD per student each year.
Does Ivy Waters replace local homeschool requirements?▼
No school can override the law where a family lives. Requirements vary by country and region, so families remain responsible for local registration, testing, evaluation, and acceptance rules that apply to them.
How is my child’s information used?▼
Ivy Waters uses family information to provide your records and learning experience. We do not sell personal information or use a child’s learning history for advertising profiles. Sharing is always deliberate and controlled by you.
