Cardinal Education is an independent educational consulting company. We are not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with any public or private school.
Our independent admissions consultants can help you with your application to Polytechnic School.
Polytechnic School is ranked as the best K-12 private school in the Los Angeles Area and Los Angeles County. Located in Pasadena, California, Poly aims to inspire and educate students to achieve academic excellence, become responsible global citizens, and live lives of service to others.
Application to Polytechnic requires strategic planning because they only accept a limited number of applicants for K–9th grade. Grades 10-12 are considered “non-entry” years and will only accept new students if space becomes available. Our private school admissions consulting services cover all aspects of the admissions process, including:
1. Recommendation Letters
2. Student Assessment
3. Student Interview
4. Transcripts
5. Student Statement
6. Parent Statement
Our independent admissions consultants can help you with your Poly application!
