Great schools recognize education as a set of building blocks preparing students to reach their full potential and become productive, responsible, and successful citizens. Kinkaid provides students with the necessary resources and tools to become educated, empowered, and inspired on their journey to adulthood. Our three school divisions strategically address student needs at every level and provide the support necessary to help them achieve their individual goals.

Community Service

Students Creating Balance through Service

We organize and sponsor developmentally appropriate service opportunities for students in all divisions of the school, and we require that each Upper School student attend at least one Kinkaid-sponsored service project during the school year. Students may attend as many projects as they like – the current record is 28 projects in one year!

Kinkaid believes that community service is part of the educational development of our students.

Kinkaid-facilitated projects are conducted throughout the year at times that are convenient for students, including weekends, holidays, and after school. Some of our community service projects in the past have included:

Building houses with Habitat for Humanity and wheelchair ramps for Texas Ramps Project
Working with adults and children with special needs through partnerships with Easter Seals, The Brookwood Community, Special Olympics, and TUTS Theatre
Tutoring and mentoring children with KIPP Schools, Baker-Ripley Neighborhood Centers, Making It Better, and Social Motion Skills
Working with the elderly at Belmont Village
