Diversity,
Excellence,
Character

Our whole-child educational philosophy derives from our commitment to diversity — of individuals, viewpoints, experiences — and the intellectual and moral excellence that it generates.

Our mission is to educate individuals who are distinguished by intellectual and moral courage and give them the tools and resources to become agents of change in their communities, our country, and the world.

At Poly, education is a joyful act of creation that inspires students and teachers alike to pursue excellence — their own and others'.

Poly’s teachers are lifelong learners who model for our students the joys, challenges, and rewards of intellectual growth. Their love of learning is a bedrock of the strong relationships they forge with students.

This is why current and former students alike often note that the teachers at Poly not only challenge them inside the classroom but emboldened them to pursue their passions outside of it as well.
