Head of School

Turning Point Christian Academy is a Christian K–10 school located in St. Augustine, FL. At Turning Point, Christian education is far more than chapel services and Bible classes – at the heart of the school, they value a Christ-centered approach woven into every aspect of the school day, intentionally nurturing each student toward a personal love for Jesus Christ and for others through meaningful biblical integration across all academics and activities.

Turning Point Christian Academy embraces their mission to develop leaders with godly character who impact the world for Jesus Christ. They accomplish this through excellence, providing an outstanding educational experience for students three years old up to 10th grade, from those just beginning their educational journey to highly motivated, college-bound sophomores seeking academic challenge and preparation. The school also continues to grow and develop with a strategic plan to add 11th and 12th grade students in the near future.

They also are boldly stepping into a master facility site plan to begin shortly, with a Performing Arts Center that will serve as a major hub for student development.

Above all, Turning Point Christian aims to provide education that is the development of the whole person—spiritually, academically, socially, physically, and ethically. They desire to educate students in partnership with parents to develop their children’s God-given talents, so that they will live with a purposeful and ethical life in accordance with biblical principles.

With approximately 445 students across 3 years old through 10th grade, Turning Point fosters a close-knit, welcoming community where students, parents, and faculty work together to create an exceptional educational experience and a truly remarkable school culture in the St. John’s County area.

The Head of School serves as the chief educational, operational, and spiritual executive officer of Turning Point Christian Academy. Working in close alignment with Pastoral leadership — specifically Executive Pastor, Hunter Conrad, the Head of School is responsible for advancing a Christ-centered educational ministry that develops students to know Christ, think biblically, and impact the world for God’s glory.

The ideal Head of School acts as a collaborative bridge-builder between church and school leadership, ensuring theological harmony, operational efficiency, continuous enrollment expansion, academic excellence, and staff mentorship.
