## Testimonials

- [Parent](https://www.pivotriverside.com/testimonial/parent-6/) - Thank you for your interest in Pivot Charter School! Welcome Letter, School Incident Report, Blended Learning Program
- [Student](https://www.pivotriverside.com/testimonial/student-3/) - “My anxiety during my freshman year had gotten so bad that I couldn’t even attend classes on campus anymore. Being able to work at home, away from all of the chaos, has helped a lot. The teachers at Pivot are always willing to help and have always been very accommodating to my needs regarding my anxiety.”
- [Parent](https://www.pivotriverside.com/testimonial/parent-19/) - "My daughter can progress at her own pace without outside distractions at Pivot. Also, the one-on-one time with her Educational Coordinator is wonderful. She has really gotten to know my daughter and really cares about her progress and future plans."
- [Parent](https://www.pivotriverside.com/testimonial/parent-23/) - "The flexibility has been lifesaving, especially this year. I don’t know how we would have managed to give enough support with two full-time working parents if our son’s schedule hadn’t been so flexible. My son also loves that there is no time-wasting “busy work” that takes up so much of a standard school day. For a kid with ADHD and only so much bandwidth to focus, he found it really frustrating using up that energy on tasks that seem designed to fill time or drill on skills he’d already mastered. We love Pivot!"
- [Parent](https://www.pivotriverside.com/testimonial/parent-21/) - "Pivot Charter School has been exceptionally supportive. Kindness abounds as does our Educational Coordinator’s willingness to assist."
- [Parent](https://www.pivotriverside.com/testimonial/parent-20/) - "The Educational Coordinators are great and really allow my child to be exactly who he is without judgment."
- [Parent](https://www.pivotriverside.com/testimonial/parent-24/) - "Keep being awesome, fantastic and available! Pivot is great!"
- [Ruth](https://www.pivotriverside.com/testimonial/ruth/) - "Great teachers who actually care if your child is learning."
- [Dorothy](https://www.pivotriverside.com/testimonial/dorothy/) - "I am so happy we found this school. My grandson no longer dreads the thought of school."
- [Sue](https://www.pivotriverside.com/testimonial/sue/) - "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."
- [Tino](https://www.pivotriverside.com/testimonial/tino/) - "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."
- [Natalie](https://www.pivotriverside.com/testimonial/natalie/) - "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!"
- [Rachael](https://www.pivotriverside.com/testimonial/rachael/) - "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."
- [Rosie](https://www.pivotriverside.com/testimonial/rosie/) - "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."
