Why Join Us at Poly?

At Polytechnic School, we believe that great work happens when talented people bring their best to a community that supports their growth, values their contributions, and fosters meaningful engagement. We invite you to explore opportunities to inspire students, thrive professionally, and be part of a school culture committed to excellence, equity, and inclusive community.

Our Culture & Community
We at Poly pride ourselves on being a school community where collaboration, innovation, and student-centered work are at the heart of all we do. When you join us, you become part of a team that:
  • Embraces continual reflection, improvement, and fresh perspectives.
  • Works together in a nurturing environment where faculty and staff support one another.
  • Strives to create an environment in which every student and employee has the opportunity to grow and succeed.
  • Values open communication, professional development, and a shared commitment to the vision and mission of the school.
Why Poly Stands Out
At Poly, community is at the heart of everything we do. Set on a beautiful, well-resourced K–12 campus, our environment is thoughtfully designed to support inspired teaching, engaged learning, and student success. We foster an inclusive, collaborative culture where every employee plays a vital role in advancing our mission and vision. We continuously refine our curriculum, facilities, and work practices to remain relevant and responsive. Most of all, Poly offers a genuine sense of belonging. Beyond a job, you will find a team dedicated to making a difference.

Poly is participating in the 2026 Southern California Diversity Recruiting Fair on March 7 from 9 a.m. to noon to support the hiring of faculty, staff, and administrators from underrepresented groups. Research shows that a diverse, equitable, and inclusive learning environment is critical to student success and a marker of educational excellence. 

The fair gives attendees the opportunity to learn about working in an independent school and speak with representatives from over 50 schools about open positions. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to hear from panelists on a variety of topics.

We look forward to meeting you there!
