The Kerby Elementary School provides kindergartners through fourth graders with a public school education as part of the Grosse Pointe Public Schools system in the city of Grosse Pointe Farms. The Kerby Elementary School's green and white Cougars are brave scholars who study the social sciences, mathematics, English language arts, science, social studies, art and Spanish.
Within the Grosse Pointe Public Schools system, Kerby Elementary has established its own "growth mindset" that promotes embracing challenges, persisting in the face of adversity, a belief in effort, positive responses to constructive criticism and inspiration gained from observing the success of others. Kerby Elementary administration believes that adopting these attitudes in the classroom leads to a "limitless" learning experience for children.
Working with parents and the PTO organization, Kerby Elementary stays vibrantly engaged with the community, inviting students to Movie Nights, Haunted house tours on Halloween, and the Kerby Fun Run in the fall. Comradery and friendships are built through student spirit week and extracurricular activities like joining "Destination Imagination," a club dedicated to STEAM-based competition and problem solving.
Kerby Elementary maintains a proud tradition of team building and parent involvement that prepares its students for fulfilling and successful future middle school careers.

Our family loves Kerby Elementary School. We feel the safe, nurturing environment is providing just what my kids need -- and they are very different from each other!
