What we do

Big Picture is a co-educational, secular school offering a non-traditional model of education called The Big Picture Way. This is a 21st century educational approach, centered around personalized learning plans focused on:

  • Essential 21st century knowledge and skills
  • Relevant, inspiring, and stimulating content
  • A student’s individual needs and talents
  • Individualized college and career Pathways

Children sit on the floor in a classroom, some with hands raised.

Our Mission

BPEA educates individuals of all ages, one student at a time, to understand and engage in the world around them, take ownership of their own learning, and develop abilities and interests for success in college, career and life.

 

Our Vision

BPEA students leave confident in their knowledge, skills and relationships to pursue unique passion and make lasting positive impact on their lives and communities.
