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.  Download tuition assistance quick facts.

Tuition Assistance for the 2025-26 School Year 

Our FAST application to apply for Tuition Assistance for the 2025-26 school year will open on December 1, 2024. Families must have their Tuition Assistance Application completed by February 13, 2025 for priority consideration. Your student must first be accepted to Kirby before the Tuition Assistance application will be evaluated. After this deadline, we offer rolling admissions based on space, and Tuition Assistance is dependent on the availability of funds.
