Howard Berg, "The World's Fastest Reader" visited The Turning Point Academy (TPA) on November 16, 2009. TPA uses Howard Berg’s speed reading course (see bottom of TPA's homepage). Using his techniques, students learn to filter through massive amounts of information with better retention. Mr. Berg taught TPA students how to use speed reading as a powerful advantage in school, work, and in life. The students were very excited to have Mr. Berg join them. They have successfully used his speed reading for over a year. The students have watched him on "FOX NEWS" reading President Obama's proposed Health Care Plan (nearly 2000 pages in one hour). Howard Berg is also on the Sony Reader Digital commercial with Justin Timberlake.   and http://www.collegeplus.org/blog/2009/10/26/speedreadingstudyskills .

The ideal learning environment for teens today

An evolved look at grades 6-12

Genius ideas and abilities are available to all students.  It's all there in the rapidly expanding library of today’s technology.  Now students can be surrounded by potential, creation, and possibilities…a greater mind….a vaster collective knowledge base. Technology is expanding infinitely and it is crucial for today’s student’s to benefit from all that technology has to offer.

While 20^th century regular, mind-oriented learning was done over long periods of time through memorization and disciplined routines, 21^st century evolved learning is done moment to moment with a sense of joy and adventure all within a comprehensive structure.  In the new, 21st century, evolutionary learning environment, students are empowered to:

• Connect to know anything they want to know
• Access their  potential and creativity as energetic states that open up limitless possibilities and highly creative endeavors
• Celebrate their uniqueness and generate their own unique creative genius in whatever areas they're passionate about
• Experience greater joy and empowerment as they learn

The old 20th century learning model fails to address 21st century challenges and opportunities.  Today’s teens need to have an advantage as they mature and enter higher education and then the global work force. The generation that will build the future deserves to be exposed to a more expansive kind of learning.

Fortunately, this evolution in learning isn’t some distant dream for the future.  It is taking place right now at the top-of-the line school, Turning Point Academy (TPA), located in the Houston area.  Students at TPA quickly access and utilize the grandest libraries of up to date information via the Internet to gain enormous amounts of knowledge in all school subjects.   They take joy in learning in this evolutionary environment.  They acquire leadership skills, write daily affirmations, set goals, learn to plan in detail, and execute their plans. They conduct morning meetings in a board room setting as a daily learning process, and use the latest technology as part of their learning.

One of the highlights for TPA students is to have the opportunity to complete all of their school work each day so that when they go home in the evenings, they have NO HOMEWORK! With homework out of the evening equation, students are free from stress and have the opportunity to spend more time doing other activities.  In the evenings, students are free to engage in sports, music, theatre, or spend quality time with families. 

 The Turning Point Academy is ideal for the sensitive and multi-sensory students of today. The atmosphere is comfortable, quiet, and conducive to their focus, creativity and individuality.   The academy is located in an educator’s large school-home. It’s a luxurious private school environment like none other.  Unlike 20^th century learning institutions, students receive the daily personal one-on-one attention they deserve.  The student body is small in number, yet just right to foster positive social interactions, discussions, and collaboration among peers. 

TPA has a zero tolerance for negative behaviors eliminating that stress from students. Students in a stress-free, distraction-free environment are able to become clear on their purpose and not be influenced by negative peer pressure. They are able to get more educational benefits when they can focus and stay clear on their objectives. TPA students are primed to take dual high school and college credits. When they are ready to enter college they will enter in their college sophomore year. TPA students earn high GPA’s, SAT and ACT scores and are eligible to receive academic scholarships. These advantages reduce families financial worries during the expensive college years.

The Turning Point Academy provides the ideal learning environment. The 'fit-the-norm' approach no longer applies to the teens of today.  A creative, dynamic learning approach celebrating the unique potential of every single person is required for the 21st century.

Every person on this planet needs to make a contribution and pursue their most wondrous dreams and visions. Now is the time! The Turning Point Academy is the place for your grades 6-12 child.
