Since 1854, Poly Prep has prepared students to be their best selves. We graduate smart, resilient, and empathetic young men and women who engage in the world around them, seeking to learn, do, and lead. A rigorous academic curriculum, rooted in interdisciplinary study, is enhanced by vibrant arts programs, sports programs that range from recreational to highly competitive, and top-notch extracurricular activities, like our champion debate team. From Nursery to 12th grade, Poly students call two lush, verdant Brooklyn campuses “home” in the city’s most dynamic and diverse borough. Poly’s mission is to prepare and inspire the next diverse generation of leaders and global citizens to act with intelligence, imagination and—above all—character.
