At Kinard, we are committed to a well-balanced curriculum that fosters a healthy whole child experience. Our encore courses in the arts continue to produce quality results. In 2015, all three of the music programs at Kinard were invited to perform at the Colorado Music Educators Association (CMEA) Conference in late January 2016. This unique opportunity to showcase the incredible talent, dedication, and hard work of our Band, Orchestra, and Choir students is a huge honor.
Kinard Core Knowledge Middle School is one of three Colorado schools to be recognized by Solution Tree for its quality and success in creating a professional learning community (PLC). Kinard was first recognized as a national model for professional learning communities in 2012, and that status was reaffirmed in 2015 by allthingsplc.org.

Kinard is one of only two schools in the state of Colorado to be given this distinction, and the only middle school in Colorado to make the list.
