Initiated during the 1998-99 school year, Turning Point's "Families" program provides opportunities for children and adults, all of varying ages, to interact in a meaningful way to foster a sense of community by creating extended families that remain together throughout a student's time at Turning Point.
Each family consists of approximately 13 children and two or three adults. As an eighth grader graduates from Turning Point, that student will be replaced by an incoming student, in most cases a Primary child. In some cases, the new student will represent a different grade level, so the family configuration may change from time to time, which is true of most families today.
