About the program
At Turnbull School, developing strong character and leadership skills is central to our students’ education. From fostering respect, empathy, and cooperation to promoting self-confidence and positive problem-solving, our curriculum helps students grow as caring, responsible, and engaged members of both the school and wider community. These values are reinforced not only in weekly Character and Leadership classes but also through daily interactions, school activities, and meaningful opportunities for students to lead, collaborate, and contribute.
