Applying to Kirby
Becoming a Kirby student - what makes a great candidate?
There are so many different types of teens who find their passions and their people at Kirby. We bring together a group of students in each grade who will contribute to the school community. Our students show up with passion, openness, and the desire to get involved in both big and small ways.
Our current students and alumni are up to some very cool things. You will be joining a group of young people who prioritize individuality in their learning, have diverse interests, and have big ideas for their futures.
