I am pleased to welcome you to the TURNINGPOINT School Website. Whether you are an old friend or new to the school or to Los Angeles, this site will provide you with a sense of TURNINGPOINT's excellence. The following pages contain specific information about our philosophy, curriculum, programs, admissions procedures, and employment opportunities.

You will see that TURNINGPOINT provides an environment that nurtures the minds, bodies, and souls of children from the formative years of early childhood through the impressionable years of pre-adolescence. The years children spend at TURNINGPOINT provide an invaluable foundation for all future education.

TURNINGPOINT provides the framework for lasting friendships; children here come to appreciate a sense of community where respect, responsibility, and relationships flourish.

Since its founding in 1970, TURNINGPOINT has successfully encouraged its young students to explore and share the joys of self-discovery and knowledge and to share their good fortune through community service and cooperative efforts. Children who attend TURNINGPOINT discover the sheer pleasure of learning. Their natural curiosity and sense of wonder is provoked with the awe of watching caterpillars turn into butterflies, seeds into flowers, numbers into equations, and notes into music. Letters turn into words and words become ideas as creative and individual as each of TURNINGPOINT's students.

TURNINGPOINT School offers good beginnings and successful transitions while children compose their lives. Welcome to our website, and welcome to the community that is TURNINGPOINT.
