Turning Point School is a Preschool-8 independent school located in the heart of Culver City.
We believe that students learn best when they are happy, engaged, and collaborative. Based on scientific research and the field of positive psychology, our “positive equation for achievement” encompasses the intellectual, social, physical, ethical, and emotional elements that drive each student’s experience and growth, from the very first day of preschool until eighth-grade graduation.
Our mission: We open our doors every day to create a dynamic learning community in which each child grows into their best self.
We care deeply for children and for educators alike, and we hold a profound desire to get to know you and your child as we help connect you with our program and our faculty. In fact, we consider this a distinctive aspect of your engagement with our community.
As you navigate the turning points in your child’s educational journey, we are committed to supporting you with respect, integrity, empathy, and equity. As grade-level specialists, we are uniquely equipped to support your family’s areas of interest. We hold in high regard the thoughtful and personal process you are embarking on to find the best fit school for your child, and our goal is to ensure that you and your child feel a genuine sense of belonging throughout the admissions process.
