Turnbull School is a full-time private, non-denominational school for students in Junior Kindergarten to grade 8 located in the Carlington neighbourhood of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Turnbull School was founded in 1992 by Mary Ann S. Turnbull, M.Ed., and moved to its present location on former Central Experimental Farm/National Capital Commission land in 1996, the property being 5½ acres. The initial building included two levels of classrooms, two computer labs, a library, offices, a gym. The school was founded following on the success of the Turnbull Learning Centre (previously the "part-time academic assistance" branch of the school) which was established in 1981 and which offered academic services to the wider community until 2010. The school underwent a major expansion, completed in 2003, that saw the addition of a state-of-the-art computer lab and science lab (both equipped with SmartBoard technology), new grade 7 and 8 classrooms, a double gymnasium with a fold-down stage, a visual arts room, music studio, and common areas.
On April 20, 2007, Turnbull was recognized by the SEEDS Foundation as completing 100 Green School projects. [1] Only a few hundred schools in Canada are members of this prestigious club. Such projects that were recognized were Science Fairs, composting left over lunches, no idling policy, extensive recycling and many other activities.

In October 2010 Turnbull's Grade 4, 5, and 6 Girls and Boys Soccer Teams both came first in their tournaments. The Grade 7 and 8 Girls soccer team came first in their season.
