Our Guiding Philosophy
Our motto, “Harmonising Ambition with Excellence,” encapsulates our core educational philosophy. We believe that true excellence is achieved not merely through the acquisition of knowledge in isolation, but through the ambitious pursuit of connections between disciplines. At École Ivy Kingsman, students are encouraged to challenge conventional boundaries, fostering an environment where economic models can inform artistic enterprises, and musical creativity can inspire technological solutions. We cultivate critical thinking, intellectual curiosity, and a profound appreciation for both quantitative reasoning and qualitative interpretation. Our curriculum is designed to empower students to become versatile thinkers, articulate communicators, and ethical leaders, prepared to navigate and shape an ever-evolving global landscape. This interdisciplinary ethos extends beyond the classroom, encouraging a collaborative spirit and a shared journey of discovery among our diverse student body and distinguished faculty.
A Legacy of Vision
École Ivy Kingsman was established with a visionary purpose: to create an institution that would not only uphold the highest standards of academic and artistic scholarship but would also serve as a crucible for new forms of knowledge and creative expression. Inspired by Liège’s rich heritage as a historic centre of culture, industry, and intellectual exchange in Europe, our founders envisioned a school that would draw upon this legacy while boldly looking towards the future. We aim to contribute to the intellectual and cultural vitality of our host city and the wider international community, fostering a dynamic interplay between tradition and forward-thinking innovation. Our development has been guided by a commitment to creating a nurturing yet challenging atmosphere where students are inspired to achieve their fullest potential.
Our Campus: An Inspiring European Hub

While rooted in the historical charm of Liège, our facilities are designed to support cutting-edge learning and research across all our disciplines. Students benefit from an atmosphere that is both intellectually charged and warmly collegial, fostering interactions that spark new ideas and lifelong collaborations. The city of Liège itself, with its rich cultural offerings, vibrant arts scene, and strategic position in Europe, serves as an extension of our campus, providing students with ample opportunities for engagement, inspiration, and practical experience. We believe that our location significantly enhances the educational journey, offering a unique European perspective.
