= The Famous International Polytechnic High School =



International Polytechnic High School— a small tuition-free college-prep high school located on the campus of Cal Poly Pomona University.

I-Poly's curriculum centers around the Project Based Learning model. Students learn to develop a sense of community involvement by working 200 hours of community service in order to graduate, and an extra 90 hours for Service Learning in order to complete a portion of their individual Senior Project.

Se have recently been awarded the prestigious 2006 Golden Bell Award in the category of "Innovation in High School" which we are very proud of. We at I-Poly hope that you too will gain a better appreciation of our programs, faculty, staff and students and see why so many families have chosen to enroll their students in our school.

In I-Poly we learn many things about different subjects such as: Psychology, Ecology, Eco-Tech, Human Rights, Genetics, Global Pandemics,and Sex-Ed for their beginning years here at I-Poly. These subjects are followed by a project which consists of many group members or individualism. Here in I-Poly we are trained to work with others,even if they're bad, to help us out in the "Real World." The small campus allows us to go to class very quickly with 10 minute passing period regular days, and 5 minute passing periods on Fridays.

I-Poly is somewhat similar to Hogwarts in the way that it has HOUSES. Houses are basically a class in which they have a house teacher and have all the classes/projects together. We don't like noise in I-Poly so we don't have a bell that tells us to go to class, but a radio show that when it stops, we go to class. Fridays are student's favorite days because classes end early at: 12:45 P.M. The reason classes end in that time is because most project based components are due on Fridays, thus giving students time to go to sleep when they do last minute procrastination.

In the beginning of 2009, we had some very special visitors regarding if we are a distinguished school. Well, we are one of those 125 schools classified like that in California! Congratulations I-Poly student body! We are now known as a distinguished school. That means when we try to get into a college or a university it will say your High School with a note saying 'Distinguished'. That means were a really **good** school compared to others. We are only a small percintage of schools who have this school title, and we sure do deserve it! Good job I-Poly and keep the great work!

**A note from the Senior Editor:** Hey, great stuff. But it would be greater if you actually used your OWN WORDS :) And it doesn't even have to be long. Just talk about stuff from i-poly (e.g. Houses, 3 core classes/day, no bells, etc.) This page might just go up as the front page for Word Press.
 * ☺ Incase you are wondering you can be a shadow, and a student from I-Poly will show you all around I-Poly/Calpoly campus to see if you enjoy or would like to attend I-Poly High School ☻**
