What People Are Saying:

I have noticed a big improvement in my grades because I can pace myself and my teachers are right there to help me.

Chantal, Student

Pivot is right for me because I can do it at my own pace; it's more of a challenge.

Dametrice, Student

I like the independent study. You are on your own – you have everything to take care of yourself.

Sadia, Student

We did the research…it was the answer to what we had been looking for.

Cindy, Parent

I love this school! It has improved my grades tremendously and made me want to work 2x as hard for school! I am so grateful for you guys!

Rheanna, Student

FB really needs a "love" option vs. just "like" this page................My son loves learning again.

Sue, Parent

This is my 4th year at Pivot coming from a pretty bad school. This was the best thing I’ve done. It’s like a home here.

Evan, Student

Pivot has been a terrific alternative program for my high school student. It has provided him a customized education while maintaining state standards. His teachers have been caring, respectful and extremely supportive. My son enjoys the friendly environment when he attends on campus events and has grown socially and academically during his time with Pivot. Overall, a completely positive experience

Christine, Parent

The best thing I like about Pivot is the teachers that really care about you. And sometimes they are even funny. What I like about my EC is she really cares about me when I‘m down or when I’m up. She cracks me up with her jokes and she helps me learn how to overcome all the stress that I had because I was always thinking I wouldn’t graduate. I give all of my thanks to her because she helped me overcome my stress and fear and I WILL graduate.

Rosie, Student

Another reason we enjoyed our time with Pivot is that while other schools were scrambling to continue education [during the stay-at-home orders], our students were continuing as normal.

Rachael, Parent

An amazing community of dedicated educators and support staff working with students and parents to envelop all kinds of learning through challenging curriculum. It’s the perfect combination of homeschool and class time with peers. We are so grateful we found Pivot!

Natalie, Parent

From high school to high school, I never felt like the hours, environment, or curriculum was the right fit until I had enrolled myself into Pivot. If you're looking for an individualized, flexible scheduled, supportive, organized, and safe place, Pivot is the right direction for you or your child.

Tino, Student

My son's eagerness to learn returned when we enrolled him in Pivot. His grades improved, and he became more self-directed and motivated. Family life improved from there.

Sue, Parent

I am so happy we found this school. My grandson no longer dreads the thought of school.

Dorothy, Grandparent

Great teachers who actually care if your child is learning.

Ruth, Parent

Keep being awesome, fantastic and available! Pivot is great!

Riverside Parent
