Located on the Gilbert High School campus on West Ball Road, Polaris High School is a public middle and high school that serves students in seventh through 12th grade. Polaris' alternative, independent study program is offered to students who qualify and are looking for a more flexible learning environment, enabling them to engage in activities outside of school.
The school requires that each student spend a minimum of one day per week on campus, working closely with a teacher who provides instruction and carefully assesses their progress. There are also opportunities for students to engage in field trips and other enrichment programs.
Like other schools in the district, Polaris High School also offers students dual enrollment programs in partnership with nearby Cypress College and Fullerton College. These programs give students at Polaris the opportunity to earn college credits while still attending high school.
