Tuition
For the past 30 years, Kirby School has offered a college preparatory education to students from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds.
This year 34% of students received Tuition Assistance to support this founding principle. The average amount these families paid was $11,735 for 2023-24 school year.
To ensure objectivity, Kirby uses an outside service: Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) to evaluate TA applications. Our Tuition Assistance is a needs-based program which means families who qualify are invited to pay a lower tuition amount. Every family pays some amount towards tuition at Kirby.

Tuition Assistance for the 2025-26 School Year
As of February 13th, 2025, we are past our priority consideration deadline to apply for Tuition Assistance for the 2025-26 school year. We continue to offer rolling admissions based on space, and Tuition Assistance is dependent on the availability of remaining funds.
Families are welcome to apply for assistance and go into our waiting pool to see if additional funds become available. We have a generous but finite Tuition Assistance budget for each school year. Your student must first be accepted to Kirby before your Tuition Assistance application will be evaluated.
