Happy Anniversary, Poly!



On Oct. 10, 1907, Poly opened its doors for the first time. Just 106 students were enrolled that first year in California’s first independent, coeducational day school (kindergarten students from 1907 are pictured).

From the “Poly100” book, celebrating Poly’s centennial, “Polytechnic Elementary School aimed to provide a superior education for young students, one that would embrace Miss Pease’s belief that children needed learning beyond textbooks. Academic excellence was a hallmark of the school from the beginning, and teachers used novel approaches in many subjects.”

Polytechnic School, 1030 E. California Blvd., Pasadena, (626) 396-6300 or visit www.polytechnic.org.
