Our aim is to align your interests with the school’s key priorities, so we can continue strengthening a community that offers exceptional opportunities for every student. Participation at any level is your commitment to helping our students become intelligent, capable, and self-aware citizens, who are fully prepared to pursue their dreams and ambitions.

Giving back is an enduring tradition at our school. It’s how parents, along with faculty, staff, alumni, families, and friends, have always come together to ensure our students have access to extraordinary opportunities.

Understanding Your Investment in Poly

When you think about making a gift to Poly, it helps to consider how our school’s financial needs mirror a family’s personal household planning:

TUITION = Your family’s household income – covering our essential daily operations, from keeping the lights on and buses running to sustaining our world class faculty and programs.

ANNUAL GIVING = Your emergency savings – providing the flexibility to seize unexpected opportunities and address urgent needs that arise.

ENDOWMENT GIFTS = Your retirement savings or investment portfolio – ensuring Poly’s permanence and building our legacy for the next century, while generating steady income to support our mission year after year.

In this analogy, each segment builds upon one another: tuition is the foundation upon which our school operates. Your annual gifts build upon the foundation of a fully enrolled school And Endowment gifts build upon tuition and annual giving to secure our future.

Building Poly’s Future Together

Each gift builds upon the foundation of support.
