Turning Point Christian Academy is committed to preparing students for college, careers, and life through integrated development of students’ minds, hearts, and bodies with a Christian education.

For the 2025-2026 school year, we are excited to announce that we will be using the Abeka curriculum as the foundation for our educational program. To ensure a well-rounded and top-notch Christian education, we will supplement Abeka with additional resources and materials tailored to enhance each student's learning experience. The scope and sequence documents for grade levels K–8th are available below for your review.

Our curriculum is aligned with rigorous academic standards to ensure a solid educational foundation for our students. Additionally, we integrate a Christian worldview throughout all subjects, fostering both academic excellence and spiritual growth, as students learn how faith shapes every aspect of life and learning.

Turning Point Christian Academy believes that family time is critical to developing well-rounded, mature students.  We also believe that kids need time to play, help family with chores, and simply "be kids."  To that end, our teachers will endeavor to keep homework to a minimum unless additional reinforcement of a particular concept is necessary outside of school hours.  

Our policy for Kindergarten through Second Grade is that homework will be kept to an absolute minimum. Students will have time during the school day for reinforcement of the concepts learned, which should in many cases eliminate the need to take work home for completion.  

Starting in Third Grade, homework may be introduced but will be limited to approximately thirty minutes at home once assigned.  Again, students will have time during the day to complete the reinforcement activities, which normally will result in limited work at home.

Turning Point Christian Academy emphasizes a "low technology" policy — particularly during the earliest years of school.  While we certainly acknowledge the importance of technical literacy, we believe that active personal engagement is crucial to establishing a firm base for emotional and social intelligence.  To that end, Kindergarten through Second Grade will endeavor to minimize technology as part of the daily routine, favoring instead more traditional methods.  This does not mean that technology will never be used as part of instruction.  Rather, our bias will be to leverage it on an exception basis.

Starting in Third Grade, we will begin introducing more technology in an effort to help children expand both their technical literacy and their academic capabilities.  During these years, we will focus on file sharing, typing, collaboration, research, and how to access accurate information in appropriate ways.  

As Turning Point Christian Academy expands beyond Fourth Grade, there will be an increase in technology usage within the classroom.  However, Turning Point Christian Academy will always strive to ensure that a balance is maintained and that personal, face-to-face interaction and instruction are cornerstones of our program.

Periodically, faculty and staff may take pictures of students while on the premises.  

During Chapel or other special events, Turning Point Christian Academy may also take photographs or videos of students.  

Additionally, during field trips, service projects, or special events that are off premise, faculty, staff, and other parents may take videos of your children as part of their participation in the event.  

By participating in Turning Point Christian Academy, you consent to your student(s) being photographed or videoed in any of these environments/circumstances.
