What we do
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.
Part of the Big Picture Learning Network
As a proud member of the national Big Picture Learning network, we know school is more than a building. It's a place where learning happens. BPP is part of a global network of over 275+ schools, fellows, and other places of learning who believe leaving to learn in and with the community is every bit as important as what happens in the classroom.
