Founded in 1906, The Kinkaid School is the oldest independent coeducational school in Houston. Kinkaid is a non-sectarian college preparatory day school enrolling a total of 1,280 boys and girls in grades pre-kindergarten through twelve. The school has three divisions: Lower School (pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and grades 1-4); Middle School (grades 5-8); and Upper School (grades 9-12). Each division has its own faculty, classrooms, and separate identity, and each has a specific educational plan for nurturing its students. Kinkaid’s mission is to promote educational excellence, personal responsibility, and balanced growth, and thereby to help its students to discover and develop their talents and to fulfill their best potentials. http://www.kinkaid.org/
