At Polku International school, we are the proud of the job we do, our reputation in the community, our relationships with parents, and of our unique student experience. We consider our greatest achievment to be creating an environment which nutures students, one that helps them become excited about learning, always be inquisitive, fair in their dealings with others, develops critical and creative thinking, and provides them with an education that helps them excels academically after their time with us. Most importantly though, we consider our most important goal to be making sure our children are always happy.
We believe that it is only through the hard work of our dedicated team that we have achieved this, and we need the right person to help us continue to deliver this standard of excellence. Our school is one with no closed doors, open smiles, and staffed by a team of experts.
