About
The Ivy Bound Story Ivy Bound was launched to give students the best preparation for all test prep and academic courses. Mark Greenstein founded Ivy Bound in 2000 after working 13 years with three other test prep organizations. His first classes were held in South Central Los Angeles, and the students were exclusively first-generation college students. Over the following months, the work of Mark and Ivy Bound spread. He was getting calls from parents in many parts of L.A.
