For 8th grader Anna Reid, school used to feel overwhelming. In traditional classrooms, she often felt out of place and struggled with the stress of keeping up. That changed when she enrolled at Pivot North Valley, where she’s found a learning environment that meets her needs and supports her passions.
“Pivot’s study model has made school so much less stressful for me,” shared Anna. “My teacher has created a welcoming and comfortable environment that helps me focus on my schoolwork without feeling overwhelmed.”
With a love for musicals, American history, geography, and playing GeoGuesser, Anna now has the flexibility to explore her interests while staying on track academically. Daily check-ins and consistent support from her educational coordinator have helped her gain confidence in her studies and rediscover a sense of belonging in her education.
Anna’s journey is one example of how a personalized, student-centered approach can create space for both academic success and personal growth. We are so proud of Anna, and we can’t wait to see all she continues to accomplish in the future!
