Welcome Parents & Students

Pivot Charter School is a tuition-free, public, non-profit charter school serving students in grades 6–12 in the Brandon/Riverview area. For over a decade, we've been dedicated to building strong relationships with students and families, providing a high-quality, student-centered education.

As a small, community-focused school, we offer the personal attention of a close-knit environment alongside the opportunities typically found in larger schools. At Pivot, we know every student by name and are deeply invested in their growth. Our students benefit from teacher-led instruction supported by innovative technology and real-world learning experiences. They have access to hands-on learning opportunities, dual enrollment programs, leadership clubs such as NHS and FBLA, and enriching field trips. Many of our staff members are bilingual, helping us build meaningful connections with families.

Pivot Charter School is fully accredited by Cognia, a respected organization that recognizes schools for meeting rigorous standards of educational quality, leadership, and continuous improvement. This accreditation reflects our commitment to academic excellence and creating an environment where every student is supported, challenged, and prepared for the future.

Whether your student is beginning middle school or preparing for life after graduation, Pivot is here to guide and support them every step of the way. If you're seeking a school that values connection, opportunity, and academic growth in a nurturing environment, Pivot Charter School is the right choice for your family.
