Discovering the Path to Lifelong Success at Turning Point School

For over 50 years, Turning Point School has been more than just a place of learning—it has been a foundation for growth, confidence, and purpose. Serving students from Preschool through Grade 8, Turning Point provides an environment where young minds develop the skills, resilience, and empathy needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.



A Research-Based Approach to Education

Education is more than memorization and test scores. At Turning Point, learning is shaped by scientific research on cognitive, emotional, and social development. We recognize that early childhood and adolescence are the two most pivotal stages in a child’s growth, and we design our curriculum to bridge these moments effectively. Whether in the classroom, on the playing field, or in creative spaces, every experience at Turning Point is carefully crafted to nurture curiosity, perseverance, and purpose.

Happiness Through Meaningful Engagement

At Turning Point, students are not just happy—they are deeply engaged. When children experience genuine growth and achievement, they enter what we call a “state of flow”—a mental space where they are fully absorbed in learning, taking on challenges, and developing confidence in their abilities. This sense of purpose fuels their success, fosters resilience, and inspires them to contribute their talents to the world.

A Community That Nurtures Growth

What makes Turning Point unique is not just what we teach, but how we teach. Our school is built on a strong partnership between educators, students, and families, creating a community where each child’s journey is supported and celebrated. This collaborative environment ensures that students develop not only as learners but as compassionate individuals who understand the power of connection and shared purpose.

The Turning Point Difference

  • Preschool–8 Model: A seamless transition through key developmental stages

  • Individualized Learning: A curriculum that adapts to each student’s strengths and passions

  • Holistic Development: A focus on intellectual, emotional, and social well-being

  • Commitment to Excellence: A school community dedicated to continuous growth and innovation

At Turning Point, we believe that education is a lifelong journey, and our mission is to provide students with the tools, confidence, and perspective to navigate that path with success.

At Turning Point School, we believe that education is more than just academics—it’s about nurturing the whole child. Grounded in scientific research and the principles of positive psychology, our approach to learning is built on a “positive equation for achievement.” This equation integrates five essential elements—intellectual, social, physical, ethical, and emotional—to create a well-rounded educational experience that prepares students for success in school and in life. The Intellectual Elements Our rigorous curriculum challenges students to think critically, solve problems, and innovate. While a thoughtfully designed scope and sequence guides our instruction, we also honor each child’s unique learning journey. Through personalized, strengths-based teaching, students experience the right level of challenge, fostering skills they’ll use long after they leave our classrooms.
