Student Organizations

The Kinkaid student enjoys a rewarding educational experience in and out of the classroom. Students have endless opportunities to participate in activities beyond their academic coursework. We have a wide variety of academic and special interest clubs, and affinity groups. Upper School students are encouraged to explore and join student-led clubs at the beginning of the academic school year.

Our clubs and organizations give the students the opportunity to enhance the quality of Student Life at Kinkaid. Most groups meet once every two weeks during the activity periodAll student clubs and groups in the Upper School and Middle School are student-driven with the support of faculty and staff and change as necessary to reflect the current interests of the student bodies of these divisions. Upper School Student Leadership are elected by the student body or nominated and selected by School leadership.
