What we do


Pivot is dedicated to providing transformative educational experiences for exceptional middle and high school students from around the world. We offer our students access to Yale University's resources, empowering them to achieve their own academic and personal goals.

ACES-Pivot gives students the opportunity to conduct college-level research in academic subjects of their choosing and encourages them to think like Yale scholars. We challenge our students to “pivot” – to change the way they think about their education, about themselves, and about the world.

Our Programs

Pivot ventures beyond the scope of traditional summer academic and research internship programs, not only offering our students high-quality resources to conduct individual research projects, but also provide continuous mentorship and support by the entire Pivot community throughout the rest of their academic and social journeys.
