Mayfair 2025 - Featured Pillar of Community
Friends of Friendship “Turtle” Park (FOFP) proudly salutes our Pillars of Community
Building Together, Shell by Shell
Just up the street from Turtle Park, you'll find our next amazing sponsor — National Presbyterian School (NPS)!
Serving children from age 3 through 6th grade, NPS is a warm and welcoming community where learning is joyful, curiosity is encouraged, and childhood is truly celebrated.
Nestled on a beautiful 12-acre campus, NPS combines small class sizes with passionate, dedicated teachers to create a nurturing environment for every student. With a 6:1 student-teacher ratio in the early grades, students get the personalized attention they need to grow and thrive. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to be both rigorous and developmentally appropriate, with an emphasis on creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking 💡🎨🤝
Core values like kindness, respect, and integrity are woven into daily life at NPS, helping students build strong character and the confidence to make a difference in the world around them.
