Faculty Fuel a Love of Learning After more than 50 years, Poly says goodbye to the College Board’s AP curricula and ushers in a new era of advanced programming.
In February of 2021, Michal Hershkovitz P’16, ’18, Assistant Head of School, Academics shared exciting new plans with parents and Upper School students. Poly would launch new advanced college preparatory curricula created to reflect the school’s educational priorities, its faculty’s remarkable expertise, and state-of-the-art subject-specific learning methods. As part of this new programming, a wider range of elective courses would be introduced. Students can expect to sharpen their writing and analytical skills and read more critically while diving deeply into exciting topics across disciplines from new directions. The new programming, which spans Grades 9–12, will officially replace the AP curricula in September 2022, but new electives have already debuted, giving students a sneak peek at the vibrant academic landscape ahead. In addition, we have launched a Middle School electives program that engages younger students in subjects of special interest to them and is one-of-a-kind for this age group. Take a look.
