A Message from Our Executive Director

Welcome to Kirby Hall School!

I am delighted that you have chosen to consider us for your child’s education. I am in my 6th year serving as the Executive DIrector, and I could not be more proud of the school’s steadfast commitment in continuing to offer intellectually-curious students a challenging curriculum in a loving, nurturing environment for more than 45 years.

While much has changed in the city of Austin, and certainly around the world, since the school was founded by Dr. and Mrs. Howard F. Rase in 1976, we have learned to grow and adapt, but many things have remained constant here at Kirby Hall such as:

 

● The highest-level of academics taught in a small, intimate setting
● Personalized instruction to meet the needs of every student
● Compassionate and engaged faculty with a genuine affection for maximizing the
learning potential of all children
● Dedication to developing independent and critical thinkers and responsible global
citizens who are well-versed in the values of kindness, humility and respect.

Above all, we like to say that Kirby Hall is a place to belong, providing an education far beyond just the classroom walls. We are a family, and we are grateful for the opportunity to ignite and fuel the lamp of knowledge inherent in every child who passes through our doors.

Warmly,

Ms. Helen Roberts, Executive Director
