Our History
Turning Point Christian Academy was officially opened on November 6, 2006, as a ministry of Turning Point at Calvary. The school was led by Mrs. Carole Felten (director) and two staff members, 1 teacher, and 1 aide. The school consisted of one preschool class of three and four-year-olds and an afterschool program.
The school quickly grew and had an open enrollment of approximately 150 preschool students for the 2007/2008 school year. The school also opened an elementary department with a kindergarten class. The 2008/2009 school year extended to grade 3 with 29 students total enrolled in elementary and Mrs. Lynne Gregory as the school principal. Each year God has grown the school in students and grades and we now serve children from 3 years old to high school as 9th grade is added for the 2025/2026 school year. We pray that God will continue to pour out His abundant blessings as we humbly serve Him through the expansion of our educational programs at all levels.
Faith & Education
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION - Bible is taught each day. In addition to the formal Bible class that teaches basic knowledge of both the Old and New Testament, TPCA uses a Christ-centered curriculum that has a Biblical worldview. Any secular materials used are taught through a Biblical filter. All students participate in a weekly chapel service to encourage corporate worship and grow in the knowledge of God’s Word.

STAFF - TPCA complies with all of the standards put forth by the state of Florida. Its operation is governed by the pastor of Turning Point at Calvary, a business administrator, a superintendent, and a paid administrator. All teachers in the preschool program have level 2 background screenings and the necessary credentials to teach in the particular class.
Turning Point Christian Academy, established on November 6, 2006, is an accredited, participating member of the Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools.

This means that the K-9th primary child in each family will be at the full amount with subsequent siblings receiving a 10% discount. Standard practice is that the youngest child in K-9th is charged full tuition, while subsequent siblings receive the discount.
