Company Profile
Chinquapin Preparatory School
Company Overview
Chinquapin is Texas’s only private college preparatory boarding school that serves academically motivated students in grades 6 through 12 from under-resourced communities and schools in greater Houston.
Company History
The Chinquapin School was founded in 1969 by Robert Moore, a former head of the English Department at St. John’s School, and his wife Maxine, with the help of a grant from The Brown Foundation, Inc. The Moores saw the need to provide incentive for students who have high potential but limited opportunities.
In 2010, our organization officially changed its name to Chinquapin Preparatory School, to better reflect its mission. Chinquapin is a non-profit college-preparatory school for grades six through twelve, primarily serving highly-motivated youth from Houston’s under resourced communities and schools by providing a better future through education. High school students live on campus Monday through Friday, while most sixth, seventh, and eighth graders are transported daily.
