About Kirby Hall
In 1976, Dr. and Mrs. Beverly Rase recognized the importance of a strong educational background at the elementary and secondary school level for a student’s later academic success at the college level.
“It’s a gem. The level of education
that you get here, it is a gold mine.”
– Kirby Hall Parent

Primer and Kindergarten
Our Primer program for four-year-olds and our Kindergarten program prepare young minds with the foundation of success. Our students learn important core curriculum from an early age – including mathematics, English, Spanish, art, and science. Our Primer and Kindergarten education programs are designed to awaken intellectual wonder and curiosity from all of our students.
Lower Schools
Our Elementary School program focuses on developing higher-order thinking skills through engaging our students with rich curriculum. Rather than teaching test preparation material, we supplement our curriculum with hands-on projects and real-world examples.When examination time comes, we find the tests take care of themselves. Our approach builds a competitive spirit that will allow our students to succeed in a global society.
Middle School
Our Middle School classes offer students a place to express their individuality and define themselves to the social world around them. Middle School curriculum encourages higher-order thinking to explore harder to grasp concepts. We explore complex science and mathematics concepts, explore social issues, and thesis writing with an emphasis on preparing students for more challenging work in the future.
Upper School
Our Upper School program is highly selective and tailored to cultivate each student’s individual success. We maximize student potential both as scholars and individuals through one-on-one classes and custom curriculum. Our upper school students place in the top ten percent of the nation for the SAT and are accepted to highly prestigious and selective universities.
