Why Choose Pivot?
Pivot Charter School offers the personal connection of a small school with the opportunities you'd expect from a much larger one—making it an ideal choice for middle and high school students in the Brandon/Riverview area.
Our small class sizes and dedicated teachers allow us to give each student the attention they deserve. We combine strong, teacher-led instruction with innovative technology and real-world learning experiences to help students stay engaged and on track. From dual enrollment and leadership clubs like NHS and FBLA to hands-on projects and field trips, we offer meaningful opportunities that prepare students for the future.
Pivot is a safe, family-oriented learning community where students are known by name and supported every step of the way. Our staff is committed to helping students grow—academically, socially, and emotionally—and many of our team members are bilingual, allowing us to stay closely connected with families.
If you're a parent looking for a high-quality education in a caring, student-focused environment, Pivot Charter School is the right choice.
Admission & Lottery Process:
The application process at Pivot Charter School is as follows: Each year current students are given the opportunity to complete a recommitment application in January. If there are spaces remaining after recommitments are collected, prospective students are allowed to apply. If the number of applicants exceeds the number of vacant spaces for a grade level the potential students are entered into a lottery. The lottery takes place at the end of open enrollment (4/1/25). The families of the students that are selected in the lottery are notified via email. Those families are given 7 days to claim their spot. Those students not selected during the lottery process are notified via email and are placed on a waiting list. If the student that applied or the student that was selected in the lottery process does not complete the enrollment process a student from the waiting list will be allowed to fill the student vacancy. If there are vacancies that occur during the school year the administration reserves the right to hold another lottery to fill vacancies. Applications are only valid for one year and prospective students are required to complete a new application.
Pivot Charter School follows the state of Florida guidelines in regard to the application process. There are applicants that may be granted special preference according to Florida Statutes 1002.31, 1002.33, and 1002.38(2).
