The School also believes that a well-rounded education includes experiences in the arts, athletics, and a variety of extra-curricular activities.Kinkaid further believes that every student is and will continue to be part of a community and, therefore, seeks to strengthen his or her moral responsibility and service to it.

The School makes every attempt to inform them of the School's purposes and goals, and expects their strong support in the pursuit of these aims.
