Georgiana Bruce Kirby Preparatory School, commonly referred to as Kirby School, is a co-educational, non-sectarian independent school located in Santa Cruz, California. The school educates students in grades 6–12.

History and general information

Founded in 1994, Kirby School is named after Georgiana Bruce Kirby, a suffragist, educator, and public speaker who settled in California in the mid-1800s.

In August 2006, the school moved to the Tarantella building, formerly a high-technology complex in the Harvey West area of Santa Cruz.

Academic achievements and recognition

In 2006, the College Board Advanced Placement Report to the Nation recognized Kirby students for having the "Best in the World" in Art History performance among schools with 300 or fewer students.[1] In the spring of 2009, Kirby students took 99 AP exams. 94% scored 3 or higher (college credit), and 47% achieved the maximum score of 5.

From 1999 through 2009, Kirby graduated 250 students, of which thirty-six (15%) earned National Merit recognition. Twenty-five percent of the graduating class of 2014 earned National Merit recognition.

Extracurricular

Kirby School has 10 athletic teams. They offer a mix of club teams, as well as teams that compete in the Central Coast Section. Kirby has a no-cut policy. The ultimate frisbee team is nationally recognized for producing excellent players, including Anton Orme who represents the United States on the national team. Orme was second-runner up for the Division One Offensive Player of the Year. In 2018, the team competed in a state championship match.

Kirby School has a robust club scene, with over 25 student-led clubs. Music ensembles and theater productions are also popular. Each year, Kirby puts on three concerts with open-mic events in between. They have a beginner strings group, chamber choir, chorus, jazz band, orchestra, and jazz choir. Kirby puts on three theater productions every year: one play, one musical, and one middle-school musical.
