About

Since 2008, Big Picture Philadelphia (BPP) challenges systemic inequities in education by providing transformative learning experiences at two public high schools—El Centro Big Picture High School (formerly known as El Centro de Estudiantes) and Vaux Big Picture High School.

Our integrated, community-focused approach to education and personal development is rooted in our belief that all students deserve educational opportunities that inspire and prepare them to set and achieve ambitious goals for themselves and their communities. The surest path to this goal starts with a recognition of the strengths within every student, family, and community.

Attending a school like Vaux is very unique and rare. Not too many schools let you leave out the building twice a week and go gain experience from a real internship.

[Vaux] really helps set up our future.
