Elementary Division (Levels K-1 – Level 5)

The Elementary Division is very much the center of the Turning Point School community. Over the course of their elementary years, our students develop the fundamentals of learning and form a sense of self. They move from decoding to comprehension. They begin to express themselves in writing. They gain strength. They begin to explore connections to the world around them.

Our teachers work to engage the young individuals they teach. Quick to praise success, they make learning intriguing. Through experiences that consciously blur the distinctions between subjects, students, home, and school, students older and younger have a chance to apply their skills and knowledge in different contexts.
