  We examine the dynamics and stability of circumbinary particles orbiting
around the Earth-Moon binary system. The moon formed close to the Earth
(semi-major axis $a_{EM}\approx 3\, R_\oplus$) and expanded through tides to
its current day semi-major axis ($a_{ EM}= 60\, R_\oplus$). Circumbinary orbits
that are polar or highly inclined to the Earth-Moon orbit are subject to two
competing effects: (i) nodal precession about the Earth-Moon eccentricity
vector and (ii) Kozai-Lidov oscillations of eccentricity and inclination driven
by the Sun. While we find that there are no stable polar orbits around the
Earth-Moon orbit with the current day semi-major axis, polar orbits were stable
immediately after the formation of the Moon, at the time when there was a lot
of debris around the system, up to when the semi-major axis reached about $a_{
EM}\approx 10\, R_\oplus$. We discuss implications of polar orbits on the
evolution of the Earth-Moon system and the possibility of polar orbiting moons
around exoplanet-moon binaries.
