Each year, Poly enrolls 20 to 22 students for grade 6 and 8 to 10 students for grade 7. Grade 8 is considered a “non-entry” year, and admission will only be considered if space becomes available through student attrition.
All application materials will be found and submitted online. Applications for the 2023-2024 school year will be available through our Admission Portal by mid-October 2022. We encourage all families to submit materials early. To help the Admission Office process applications in a timely fashion, your child’s file must be completed by the listed deadline.
