PolyArts
Celebrating the importance of the arts.
Through our program, Poly students explore the creative process and develop confidence as they express themselves through visual and performing arts.
Supported by a staff of professional artists, students are inspired to act with imagination, discover their creative voices, and engage deeply with the challenges and joys of the artistic process.
A vision
for educating
the artist
We feel students with a love for the arts should be provided plenty of opportunities to pursue their talents.
Visual Arts and Performing Arts combine to provide an exciting array of courses — with a commitment to the hands-on, experiential process of art-making — and wide-ranging extracurricular activities, all of which build skills and encourage students to pursue their artistic interests.
An innovative and personal approach to the making of art

Grades 11/12 Play: She Kills Monsters (Day 1)
December 13, 2024 • 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Described by The New York Times as “deceptively breezy and rather ingenious,” She Kills Monsters is a tale that will find its way into your heart. The hugely popular play tells the story of Agnes Evans as she leaves her childhood home in Ohio following the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. In hopes to learn more about her sister and tend to her grief, Agnes reads the notebook her sister left behind, learning that Tilly was a role-playing aficionado and had a girlfriend in the game. With over 700 productions in a single year and winning the American Alliance for Theater and Education’s Distinguished Play Award in 2013, She Kills Monsters addresses what it means to be an outsider, and explores themes of finding your families, both real and metaphorical, and yourself. In this action-packed, high-octane dramatic comedy, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.
