1. The birthdate eligibility per grade level for the 2025-26 academic year follows:
2. We do not require the ISEE as part of the Middle School admissions process.
Our Info Sessions allow you to gain an understanding of Turning Point and discover the ways our elements ensure a balanced education for each child. This event, for parents and caregivers only, will last one hour and be followed by a 30-minute optional student-led campus tour. For additional information, please complete an inquiry form.
Join us as we open our vibrant classrooms so you can attend a rotation of classes with our dynamic faculty. Allow your child to explore the unique wonders of our program as they engage in active and integrative learning.
Two arrival times will allow us to accommodate the families of our youngest prospective students and those applying to our Middle School Division.
Parents/Caregivers and applicant children are both invited to attend. The event will last approximately 60 to 90 minutes. We will provide the time upon registration and further details closer to the event itself.
Submitting your inquiry opens access to an online Admissions portal where you can complete your application and register for events. We require a $150 non-refundable application fee for submission. For families applying for Tuition Assistance, if you require an application fee waiver, please contact our office.
The Family Conversation enables us to better acquaint ourselves with your child and family and allows us to understand the educational goals, values, and expectations you hold for your child. The conversation, paired with a campus tour, occurs in person and lasts approximately 80 minutes. All custodial parents/caregivers are required to attend so that we may honor the unique perspective of each family member. (Please note the tour and conversation are for primary adult parents/caregivers only).
The Student Visit/Assessment allows our faculty to better get to know your child. Further details will be provided as you engage in the process. Assessments will occur during the school day or outside of regular school hours.
Links to the forms required for application can be found in your admissions portal or on our website below. Please note that we must receive all recommendations and school records directly from your current school.
Forms are due between November 1, 2024, and January 10, 2025, to apply for the priority deadline. If you apply during our Rolling Admissions phase, we will coordinate timing with you. Please submit these forms to your child’s current school as early as possible to ensure timely receipt.

Please fill out an Inquiry Form to access a detailed calendar of all Admissions dates and sign up for virtual and on-campus events and visits.
Tuition is set to minimize additional fees and includes the cost of providing each student with the full academic program. Tuition rates apply to the 2024-25 school year.
$33,500 (Includes Morning + After School Care)
$35,000 (Includes Morning + After School Care)
$41,500 (Includes Morning Care)
$46,500 (Includes Morning Care)
A one-time placement fee of $1,800 per child is required per new student.
Families may select payment plans of one, two, or ten installments. Tuition amounts reflect a discount when paid with cash or check. Credit card payments are accepted and paid at the non-discounted amount, up to 2.85% higher than the cash discount amount.
A non-refundable deposit of 10% of the tuition amount, which will be applied towards tuition owed, is due upon enrollment.
We encourage families who need assistance to apply concurrently with submitting their child’s Admissions application. Turning Point students receive Tuition Assistance with awards ranging from approximately 10-80% of tuition.
Families for whom Tuition Assistance would be a differentiating factor in attending Turning Point School’s Preschool-Grade 8 program should apply, as future funding may not be available to families that do not apply in their first year.
The Tuition Assistance Committee considers a range of factors when reviewing each family’s application, including income, assets, and liabilities. While there is no standard income guideline, families making less than $250,000 in annual income with one child may qualify for some Tuition Assistance. We cannot guarantee that all families who apply will qualify, or that our budget will meet the needs of all families who qualify, to receive tuition assistance.
Applications for Tuition Assistance for new families are available beginning in November. Families interested in the 2025-26 school year must apply by January 27, 2025, for consideration. Please contact the Admissions office for additional information.
If you need help completing your application, Clarity offers in-app support and email support at support@claritytuition.com in English and Spanish. The application itself is also fully translated into Spanish.
*Please note that the school has met its Tuition Assistance budget for the 2024-25 school year; as a result, Tuition Assistance is not available to those families applying on a rolling Admissions basis or during non-traditional entry points in the school year. Tuition Assistance is, however, available for Fall, 2025.
