Becoming a Big Picture School
Are you interested in joining the Big Picture network?
Big Picture schools are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of students. We welcome the opportunity to bring more schools into our network, and want to make sure that new schools are well informed about the design and the commitment necessary to be a successful Big Picture school. To that extent, we welcome you to follow the steps below to learn more about our schools and the pathway to opening your own Big Picture School.
