You don’t need to read reviews of Ivanhoe Elementary School to know that it is the prized school in Silver Lake. Just ask anyone who’s children are enrolled there what they think!

Ivanhoe Elementary hosts a regular monthly “Coffee with the Principal”, and provides Silver Lake parents with education on grade-specific math curriculums and other topics. After school enrichment classes at Ivanhoe Elementary include a writer’s workshop, guitar classes, and clubs for reading, Spanish, and math.

Ivanhoe Tops in Tech
As for technology, the Silver Lake elementary school’s website tells us this: “Today’s generation of students looks at technology as part of their everyday environment. To fully meet their needs, technology should be pervasive — always available. The Ivanhoe Technology Program provides 2nd-5th graders with access to a wireless laptop to use at school and at home.

Such school events include a spring fiesta, a fitness festival and an international faire where individual grades take on projects that help the visitors experience the culture of foreign countries.
