Talking to Kids about Gender Dynamics

Dr. Laura Konigsberg

The start of school is always a time of new beginnings – a new grade level, new teachers, new classmates, and for some, an entirely new school. At Turning Point, we have another “new beginning” to add to our list: the launch of our re-branding project.

Fostering an Engaged, Inclusive Community

Dr. Laura Konigsberg

Relationships are at the heart of a key strategic priority for Turning Point, articulated in an essential question: How do we continue to foster a highly engaged, inclusive community?

Turning Point Traditions

Dr. Laura Konigsberg

In the next couple weeks, we will kick off two programs that are long-standing Turning Point traditions: PDF Nights (formerly known as "Family Nights"), and Family Groups. Both programs take place once per month during the school year, and each serve to provide our students with opportunities to deepen their connections with people who can make a profound impact in their livesÑfrom their own family members to fellow students and adults at school.

State of Flow

Dr. Laura Konigsberg

The type of happiness our students display comes from more than just an easy morning routine; it emanates from a deep sense of satisfaction they feel while at school.

New Branding: A Positive Equation for Achievement

Dr. Laura Konigsberg

The start of school is always a time of new beginnings – a new grade level, new teachers, new classmates, and for some, an entirely new school. At Turning Point, we have another “new beginning” to add to our list: the launch of our re-branding project.

Helping Parents Embrace Change

Dr. Laura Konigsberg

This time of year emphasizes change as we contemplate next steps: whether your child is going to sleep-away camp for the first time, leaving Turning Point to begin high school, moving from preschool to kindergarten.

Spring Updates

Dr. Laura Konigsberg

We come back from Spring Break to a busy end of the year, with its many culminating events. These occasions provide opportunities to honor the wonderful growth of our students.

The Power of Intergenerational Learning

Dr. Laura Konigsberg

At Turning Point, we have found that a particular magic happens when you provide opportunities for young students and elders to come together to tackle important issues and share perspective.

Pathways to Leadership

Dr. Laura Konigsberg

Last week, Head of School Dr. Laura Konigsberg had the honor of co-presenting two workshop presentations at the annual conference for the National Association of Independent Schools in Atlanta, GA.

The X-Factor of Great Teaching

What makes a great teacher? This is a question that many of us have pondered at one point or another, either as students ourselves, or as parents working to provide our children with the best educational opportunities possible.
