Introduction

Founded in 1994, Georgiana Bruce Kirby is an independent, non-sectarian, non-profit school serving 260 students in grades 6 through 12.

Education at Kirby is characterized by active, personalized learning that promotes creativity and fosters intellectual curiosity. Students thrive in small classes (with an average of 12 students per class) where a knowledgeable, enthusiastic faculty guides their intellectual and personal development. They are passionate in their pursuit of knowledge as they demonstrate and employ it in real-world applications.

Kirby’s middle school provides a well-balanced and developmentally appropriate transition from elementary school to the challenges of a rigorous college preparatory high school program. Our sixth, seventh and eighth graders are provided with a strong academic foundation and explore their creative and physical potential in a lively and supportive environment.

The high school curriculum fuses traditional college preparatory academics with a wide array of arts and advanced courses to prepare students for the social, political, and economic realities of the twenty-first century. Here, their academic journeys prepare them for success at the colleges of their choice.

Kirby is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and is a member of the California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS).
