My students are high school juniors and seniors who are part of a small school community called Big Picture Learning, a program within a larger comprehensive high school. In our school, students' experience is built around our belief in the three 'R's - Relationships, Relevance, and Rigor. These beliefs allow us to create small learning communities for our students, where we strive to get to know our students as unique individuals.
Much of our learning environment also centers on preparing our students for lives after high school, and we spend a significant amount of instruction on project based learning and real-world learning, even giving students the opportunity to participate in internships to expose them to career opportunities and to give them the opportunity to network for the future. Our core mission, through all of our instruction and practice, is to drive students to become self-directed learners.
