Steps to Apply (Grades K-5)

Each year, Poly enrolls 45 children for our kindergarten class. Children applying to kindergarten for the 2027-2028 school year must be 5 years old by Aug. 31, 2027. Grades 1-5 are considered “non-entry” years and applications will only be considered if space becomes available through student attrition.

Lower school applications for the 2027-2028 school year will be available in October 2026 in the Admission Portal. Supporting documents (statements, transcripts, etc.) for grades K-12 are due by Jan. 22, 2027.   

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 complete by the noted deadlines. A completed file contains the following:
