Who We Are

Pivot is a purpose-built learning community based in Portugal, designed to meet the needs of today's learners growing up in a hybrid world that demands adaptability, agency, and care.We support meaningful, individualized learning while prioritizing a sense of community, contribution, and clarity. Grounded in principles of competency-based learning, mastery-based assessment, and inclusive design, Pivot treats inclusion as a generative, iterative design principle, meaning that our curriculum evolves in direct response to student variability.Rooted in Portugal, we intend to scale with care, preserving learning environments grounded in strong belonging and authentic relationships.

Our Model: How We Learn

Our academic and advisory programs follow a competency-based structure grounded in responsive feedback, interdisciplinary learning, and multiple pathways to growth. Students move forward not by logging time but by demonstrating mastery.○ Cambridge-aligned academics
○ Competency-based, interdisciplinary units
○ Pivot Pulse: embedded SEL + digital citizenship strands
○ Flexible pathways for students to show what they know
○ Core instruction prioritized in morning
○ Modular afternoons for enrichment & support
○ Learning demonstrated through artifacts & reflectionOur SEL and digital citizenship work, delivered through Pivot Pulse, is fully integrated across our programming, ensuring that belonging and wellbeing are built into the core learning experience, not added on.We open in Fall 2026 and plan to scale with care, with our community and for our community, grounded in relationships, reflection, and real-world readiness.
