“Personally, what gets me the most excited about Polis is that after spending many years teaching and managing various Mandarin immersion programs, I am confident that the Montessori method and its unique multi-sensorial materials will enable a successful immersion program,” says Polis Manhattan Admissions Director Monna Istranyi. If you think Polis Manhattan might be the right place for your child, take a look at our admissions page for more details, and pre-register online for a spot in our Fall 2018 class.
Polis's innovative Children's House and elementary programs combine rigorous, structured learning with individualization and autonomy. We help nurture truly cosmopolitan adults — individuals who can think and act globally, who live full lives unencumbered by borders and boundaries. Our elementary program leverages the rich culture of Manhattan through experiential learning opportunities, including opportunities for the older children to spearhead research and organize excursions into the city. The elementary children continue with Mandarin language exposure in our bilingual program, with language and content instruction in both Mandarin and English.
