Big Picture Philadelphia
Nonprofit Big Picture Philadelphia (BPP) runs three core programs, Advisory, Real World Learning, and Resiliency Services, at two public high schools—Vaux Big Picture High School and El Centro Big Picture High School. Through small class sizes, a whole-student approach, and real-world learning experiences, we empower students to find and walk their pathway to success.
