Kirby School Open House
Kirby is an intentionally small, courageously different 6–12 school in Santa Cruz for intellectually curious students. Here, students are challenged without being hardened, supported without being coddled, and known not just by name, but by heart. We believe academic rigor and emotional belonging are not in conflict—theyare the twin pillars of a truly transformative education. Learning at Kirby is personal, purposeful,and profoundly human. Students grow not by performing, but by becoming—more thoughtful,more capable, and more wholly themselves.
