Curriculum Overview

Our curriculum provides students with age-appropriate educational and developmental experiences that encourage them to learn by making connections–between subjects, between home and school, and between each other. Rather than imposing a finite, generalized body of knowledge, we stress experience and the application of skills, tools, and understanding as the most effective way to build confidence and character. In order to make these connections, our students still need a foundation of knowledge from which to grow. From an early age we begin to provide this, but then with guidance, we let our students’ own curiosities lead them as they progress through the school.

Hoop-A-Thon

While Turning Point School has several fund raising events throughout the year, the Hoop-A-Thon is the one such event that is produced for the students, by the students. Our students compete to sign up the most possible parents, neighbors and friends to sponsor their effort. Supporters pledge cash in support of each student's hard work shooting baskets. Many of our sponsors come to the school to watch and cheer them on. Not only does this event allow students to be active participants in improving their community—it allows them to have fun as well. And with all the friends, games, and excitement, most of our Primary division students have more fun than anyone.
