Explore Turning Point School: A Journey of Growth from Early Childhood to Middle School

At Turning Point School, we are committed to creating an inspiring learning environment where each child is encouraged to grow, explore, and reach their full potential. From our Early Childhood Division to our Middle School, we offer a supportive and dynamic atmosphere tailored to the developmental needs of every student.



Early Childhood Division (Ages 2¾ – 5)
The beginning of a child's educational journey starts in our Preschool and Pre-K programs, where foundational skills are built in an environment that sparks curiosity and creativity. Through hands-on, play-based learning, our youngest students are guided to discover a love for learning while developing the essential skills for success.

Elementary School (Grades K–4)
As children move into their Elementary years, they are encouraged to explore their academic potential in a safe and inclusive community. Our students gain the confidence to take risks and approach their learning with enthusiasm.

  • K-Grade 2 Curriculum: Focused on building strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional development.

  • Grades 3-4 Curriculum: Deepens academic learning while nurturing critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration.

Middle School (Grades 5–8)
The Middle School years are a time of significant growth—both cognitively and emotionally. At Turning Point, we help students consolidate their earlier learning while challenging them to think critically and prepare for the complexities of high school and beyond.

  • Middle School Curriculum: Focuses on intellectual and personal growth, fostering skills that extend beyond textbooks.

  • Middle School Electives: Students have the chance to dive into their passions and broaden their interests through a range of engaging electives.

  • High School Placement: We offer personalized guidance to help families navigate the high school placement process and ensure students are ready for the next step.

Our Commitment to Equity
At Turning Point, we embrace the values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. These principles are at the heart of our school, creating a welcoming community where students learn from and support each other. We believe a diverse environment enriches the educational experience and fosters empathy, understanding, and respect.

A Holistic Approach to Achievement
We aim to cultivate a "positive equation" for achievement, focusing on the balanced development of every child. Our comprehensive approach nurtures growth across five key areas:

  • Intellectual: Fostering creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving.

  • Social: Building empathy, cooperation, and global awareness.

  • Physical: Promoting well-being, fitness, and resilience.

  • Ethical: Instilling integrity, respect, and compassion.

  • Emotional: Developing confidence, self-motivation, and emotional intelligence.
