Shoreline Schools are rapidly increasing in diversity. There are 75 different languages spoken at home and more than 48% are students of color. The opportunity gap for students facing racial or economic inequity is an increasing reality throughout the school district.

“The students we serve are among the most diverse in the Shoreline School District – they are bicultural and bilingual, the first in their families to navigate the U.S. school culture. Our work at CANOPY is to ensure that these brilliant and underserved students grow into their full academic potential.” - Lynn Newcombe, Executive Director

Canopy provides tutoring and STEM programs to a diverse population of Shoreline Elementary School students, prioritizing students participating in the National School Lunch Program.

We are so pleased to announce our new name CANOPY (formerly Turning Point Seattle) because it captures the essence of our work with students. Check out our new website!

A canopy is a living community of diverse types of trees growing together. They are sheltered from strong winds and storms, able to develop anchoring roots, branch into individual shapes, capture light and rain, produce leaves and seeds, and send water back into the atmosphere which creates rain.

At CANOPY, we provide an environment for students to grow into their full potential as scholars through tutoring, STEM, and community building programs. We have a stellar team of tutors as diverse as our students, and we build relationships at every level – with students, parents, teachers.
