Big Picture Learning in Grand Rapids, MI

How bold is your district in offering choice to your students? Would you consider creating a school within a school for students to learn through project-based internships? NorthPointe Christian Schools’ Big Picture Learning (BPL) microschool offers a highly individualized, student-interest, project-based learning option. Students spend three days a week in the building and two days at their internship. Learn why NorthPointe began the program (they are the only BPL school in Michigan), the challenges and successes they’ve faced over the past six years, the student experience (from a student), and how this program can be applied to public schools.
