The Katherine Anne Porter School, commonly referred to as KAPS, is a public charter high school in Wimberley, Texas, United States. It was founded in 1998 by Maltese politician and educator Yana Bland and named after Pulitzer Prize-winning[10] American writer Katherine Anne Porter. The Austin American-Statesman described it as a "small, eclectic high school."[11]

In the 2018–2019 school year, KAPS had 167 students across grades nine through twelve,[8] and its faculty currently consists of only 25 members. The school has been said to "foster a love for learning, creative thinking, and community involvement"[12] and features numerous afterschool activities and clubs.[13]

The school claims to be nondiscriminatory on the basis of "race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, marital status, genetic identification, political affiliation, or disability in matters affecting employment,"[14] and students there have been said to be "very aware of environmental issues."[12]
