Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I believe in your commands.
- Psalm 119:66
History
Under the leadership of senior Pastor, Dr. Mark Conrad, Turning Point Christian Academy (TPCA) opened in 2006, as a ministry of Turning Point at Calvary Church. The school consisted of one preschool class of three- and four-year-olds and an after-school program that picked up students from Mill Creek Elementary School.
The school quickly grew and had an open enrollment of approximately 150 students for the 2007/2008 school year. The school also opened the elementary program with a kindergarten class of 8 students. The following years showed continued growth. In the 2008/2009 school year, grades 1-3 were added. In the 2009/2010 school year, grades 4-5 were added, giving the school complete preschool and elementary departments. In the 2010/2011 school year, a middle school was added by including a sixth-grade class. A grade was added each year with the first graduating 8th-grade class in the spring of 2014. The school has faithfully served Christian families in St. Johns County and currently serves over 180 students in preschool and 280 students in the K-8 school.
