Katherine Anne Porter School

Katherine Anne Porter School (KAPS) is a free, open-enrollment public charter school in Wimberley with a focus on the arts. Its founders came from a group that bought author Katherine Anne Porter's childhood home in Kyle to preserve her memory, and they saw a need for an arts-focused school in the rural Texas Hill Country.

The school aims to fuel imagination and creativity and to give all students room to thrive and explore self-expression. Through a partnership with ThrivePoint Academy of Texas, it also offers an online option.
