CURRICULUM
College and SAT Preparation
The Turning Point Academy (TPA) vision is to provide a high standard technology-enhanced educational alternative to conventional curriculums and government-directed education. With the outstanding research-based curriculum of The NEW College Preparatory Academy (NCPA), TPA offers students the most effective way to learn. Students are prepared to evaluate information, determine what is important and integrate that information. They learn to organize information so it is easier to absorb, remember, and recall. Students retain and recall what they have learned for a lifetime, not just for testing.

Students in grades 6-10 begin taking the PSAT annually to become familiar with the process and to help eliminate test stress. By the 11th grade, each student will have taken the PSAT 5 times. Students critique their PSAT test and make corrections. They completely learn the SAT testing process which helps ensure college entrance and academic scholarships.
TPA’s students are required to make 90 or higher in all subjects.
