Steps to Apply (Grades K-5)

Each year, Poly enrolls 45 children for our kindergarten class. Children applying to kindergarten for the 2024-2025 school year must be 5 years old by Aug. 31, 2024. 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 2024-2025 school year are no longer available as the deadline has passed. Supporting documents (statements, transcripts, etc.) for grades K-12 are due by Jan. 26, 2024.

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:
