The school was founded in 1906 by Margaret Hunter Kinkaid. When the school was first established, it was located in the dining room of Kinkaid's House, which was located at the intersection of Elgin and San Jacinto in what is now Midtown Houston. Tuition at the school ranged from $90.00 per year for first and second grades to $130.00 per year for sixth graders. Tuition is now $14, 740 for Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten, $15,790 for Grades 1 through 4, $18, 270 for Grades 5 through 8, and $19, 740 for Grades 9 through 12.

Kinkaid's current school song, Kinkaid, My Own Kinkaid, was written by Charlotte Williams Darby and Elizabeth Law, sixth grade Kinkaid students, and was adopted by Mrs. Kinkaid for the school in 1921.

—William James (1842–1910)
“The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.”
