Our Story
At EarlyIvy, we’re here to help you turn early preparation into extraordinary success. Our journey started with our son Taarush whose admission to Stanford was the result of starting early, identifying his unique talents and building a strong, cohesive profile over time. We learned how aligning activities, academic choices and skill development with a clear long term vision can be powerful.
This experience led us to want to help other families feel confident and clear about the complex college admissions process. EarlyIvy is about finding strengths early, tailoring strategies, and building profiles that shine. We have a proven approach to make sure students are not only well prepared but also thrive in their journey to getting into the dream college they want to attend.
