All students can and should live lives of their own design. Lives supported by caring mentors and plentiful opportunities to achieve their greatest potential. At Big Picture Learning, we activate opportunities through our global school community and suite of initiatives to make this so. Join us.​​
THE BPL NETWORK
School is more than a building. It's a place where learning happens. And for our global network of over 275+ schools, fellows, and other places of learning around the world, leaving to learn in and with the community is every bit as important in the learning journey as the classroom is. Meet our network.
​
In addition to our network of places, Big Picture Learning serves as an incubator of sorts for the next great ideas in education. Our initiatives include multiple fellowships, outside of school learning opportunities, healthy living and learning partnerships; and much more. Check out our suite of initiatives.
​
Big Picture Learning has been at the work of evolving education to be more student-centered for 30 years. We're honored to join and lead local and national conversations, as well as partner with others whose collective efforts will influence the future of learning. Learn more about our engagement, impact and research.
​
BPL EVENTS
Big Picture Learning puts on two widely attended convenings each year, Big Bang and the BPL Leadership Summit.
​
Big Bang is Big Picture Learning's annual conference on student-centered learning, an intergenerational collaboration where students, educators, leaders and partners come together as equals to learn from one another and from our host community. This year will be no ordinary Big Bang. To celebrate Big Picture Learning's 30th anniversary, we'll be returning to our roots - Providence, RI - birthplace to not only BPL, but also our flagship BPL network school - The MET.
Next up: Big Bang 2025
