He attended the school featured on the set of the movie Growing Pains, and he did not go to public school. He finished high school when he was 17 years old and held high honors.
Cameron started to act when he was nine years old on the recommendation of a friend, and the first role he held was in the advertisement of the Breakfast cereal Golden Grahams. Four years later, his starring role started when he was 13 years old, and it was in the television series called Two Marriages. At that age, he was on many television films and shows. He became well known in 1985 when he played the role of Mike Seaver on the ABC television show Growing Pains. In this series, he was the teenager who ended up becoming the boyfriend of a girl called Kate MacDonald, it was played by Chelsea Noble who later became his wife in real life, Kirk was 20 at the time, and Chelsea was 26, they wed in Cheektowaga, New York on July 21, 1991.

His career continued to grow, in 1988, he was a guest star on Full House as well as, Just One of the Guys where his sister, Candace, had the opportunity to act with him as his cousin. It was around his later teen years when he converted to Christianity, and it was from this point that he refused to act out any role which did not coincide with his beliefs as being, too adult or inappropriate for him. This shows very much during his time with the cast of Growing Pains where he shifted his attention from acting to focus on his religious practices. Later this included a vow he had made to his wife, Kirk refuses to kiss any other woman but her, onstage or off because he views it to be a breach of their marriage.
