There are absolutely wonderful teachers here, and fantastic theater, band and orchestra programs. But the most amazing thing about the school is the students. They are so incredible, so accepting, so excited about doing service for various charities. I was told by many friends to send my kids to a Christian school or they would be 'corrupted'. After my children going to a public school and now here, it is so wonderful the way our children have been able to share their faith by giving to others....being an example.....just loving. It is very cool.
The teachers and facilities are uniformly outstanding. In high school, Kinkaid requires substantial participation in arts and sports, plus has a 3 week mid year change from normal classes. The result is an exceptionally broad and balanced educational experience. Students discover hidden talents. The school atmosphere is very positive and supportive. It's no wonder it produces so many leaders.
This is one of the top prep schools in the South. A C+ at this school is like an A- or B+ at other schools. Collages know that and they notice any Kinkaid student as one that will succeed in life. Some of the country's leaders went to Kinkaid including President George W. Bush. It is a beautiful school. However if you do activities outside of school you may not have time for them anymore (in high school). Once you are in high school and even late middle school, your life revolves around school. Because it is very well rounded that isn't too bad though.
I went to Kinkaid for 1st grade through 12th grade. The preparation and mindset instilled in students at Kinkaid is exceptional. I matriculated into the University of Texas at Austin as a sophmore, because of all the SAT-II and AP credits due to Kinkaid's high school curriculum. My writing skills were greatly superior to my fellow UT students, most of whom had attended public schools.
