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

I feel welcome as I walk through the double doors of Pivot North Bay. This campus has a lot of pride and spirit and we try to include every student. I hope one day all of them will feel as “at home” on campus as I do.

Emily, 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

We are so very thankful for Pivot and all of the outreach and support.

North Bay Parent

Pivot has been great for my high school student. I am grateful we enrolled her before schools closed. She has not missed out on her education, like many of her friends have. Teachers, thank you for continued hard work!

North Bay Parent

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

Pivot uses a great online system. It is easy to follow and allows my daughter to work at her own pace.

Parent

Pivot Charter School has been exceptionally supportive. Kindness abounds as does our Educational Coordinator's willingness to assist.

Parent

The Educational Coordinators are great and really allow my child to be exactly who he is without judgment.

Parent

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

My child looks forward to school again. That alone is worth going to Pivot.

Parent

My two children enrolled in Pivot and grew both academically and emotionally. I am so proud of my kids and have Pivot to thank for their growth.

Parent

The Educational Coordinators are available as needed and willing to help the students along the way to success. This program met my daughter where she was at in her education and is getting her where she needs to be.

Parent

Pivot Charter School doesn’t try to force my child into a space. Instead, they try to make a space that fits my child.

Parent

The school’s flexibility meets the kids where they’re at but keeps them guided, focused and challenged.

Parent

The Educational Coordinators are very caring and diligent in working alongside students to ensure their success.

Parent

Pivot staff and administration knows that not every child is successful in a traditional public school and provides a setting where those students can reach their potential.

Parent

What Pivot offers to students and their families is beyond anything I expected from a charter school. The support, respect and approach to each child’s individual needs is unmatched. Pivot is doing an amazing job and involves the family at every turn, which gives such a sense of responsibility, understanding and trust that you cannot get at a normal public school.

Parent

We have enjoyed watching our son bloom academically and he has shown us focus and initiative we had never seen from him before attending Pivot.
