ABOUT KINDER HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE PERFORMING AND VISUAL ARTS
Kinder High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (Kinder HSPVA) is the internationally renowned arts magnet school of the Houston Independent School District (HISD). Established in 1971, the school evolved from a realization that gifted young artists need highly specialized and rigorous training in the arts to be prepared for the intense competition they will meet in colleges, conservatories, and the professional arts world. Its creation represented the first attempt by any public high school in the nation to correlate an academic program with concentrated training in the performing and visual arts. Students undergo a rigorous application and audition process to earn acceptance into one of the six art areas: Creative Writing, Dance, Instrumental Music, Theatre, Visual Arts, and Vocal Music.
